Second Snow Storm Feb 20, 2013

Clouds moving in over the mountains















We went out at 4:30 to mail a letter and literally watched the next storm front roll in over the mountains.  The first snow storm caused the cancellation of today's Accenture Golf Tournament due to 2 feet of snow on the golf course(about 10 miles away from us.)  So, all the golf  broadcasters and golfers were talking about the rarity of snow in area around Tucson.  However, the next snow storm was even heavier.
 Now, I'm worried about that little palm plant.  A little drink of water is great, but the weight of heavy snow seems too much.  It is 39 degrees so maybe there won't be ice damage.  Climate change, anyone?????



 This is a Velvet Mesquite tree.  It has tiny green leaves more like a fern attached to a branch.  Imagine snow flakes outlining each of these little leaves.
