It was the middle of April. Snowbirds were already leaving to avoid the heat! And then the snow fell. Children in Scottsdale made angels in the snow. Locals trouped to the desert to gawk at the foreign white stuff and take photos of snow on the cactus. I didn't go out until afternoon so I missed that, but I did get photos of snow on the Superstition Mountains. The next day that was gone too, and we had only our photos to prove it really happened.
