The last storm produced a lot of snow in the high country, and also closer to home. A quick drive on AZ-77 just south of Globe showed snow on the road and all sorts of conditions you wouldn't expect in the desert. It was pretty sweet.
On other news, I launched #azstormwatch on Twitter to provide updates on weather phenomena affecting the state (which tends to be most of the content of my twitter feed nowadays). Check it out and follow it if you find those useful.

A cold day in hell
Well, you don't typically see this often. A rather powerful upper-level low produced widespread precipitation across the Southwest yesterday, and the Arctic air mass behind the frontal boundary pushed the snow/rain boundary over the Valley of the Sun. With snow levels as low as 2,000 feet, we saw snow in the northern areas of the Valley, and even a few flurries on the valley floors. To the northeast, significant accumulations occurred, and they were visible from the East Valley.
So yes, it did snow in hell. Will pigs fly next?
