Wow that's for posting those Clint!
I'm down in the flatland
but I did have ice on the windshield this morning
Looks like they did a good job clearing that road!
Not many heading out to work this morning
so an extra benefit!
Can you get into town ?

Guys: Those Arizona snow storm --especially this time of year-- are deadly for driving. Winter of ‘89 right within this time frame I drove a moving van across I-40 from Phoenix to Albuquerque. I left 4 in the morning from Phoenix and just got thru Flag when the major blizzard hit. White out condition on I-40. There was more than one 18 wheeler flipped on it side. I was white knuckled on the wheel.  Really should not have been there. :nono: Made it tho... We were moving to Denver. |

That is why I love Arizona! I am part Lizard so I love the summer heat and warm winters but if I want some cold and snow..........I just drive 2 hours to the north and have it all! Skiing, pine trees, snow...the whole winter wonderland. When I am done, I drive 2 hours to the south and bask in the warm sun!

Beautiful - So glad it's there though LOL. Here in Oregon it clear - blue sky and sunshine. However the temp only says 27 right now hehe. Was thinking about heading to Antelope, Oregon today to get Thundereggs and Agate, but I might wait till it warms above freezing. I have cabin fever so bad right now! I'm tired of working in the shop cutting/polishing.

Just goofing around with this one. Always have to play with a photo before I get serious, but thought this was sort of a cool Sci-Fi look to it....  |

Beautiful pictures Clint! I am glad the snow is there instead of here though. We had enough last year and it is only raining now.
