Weather.com says that the conditions at Pinetop as of 10:45 am MT, Sunday morning are "heavy freezing rain and windy" with temps at 24 degrees F.

I didn't know mountainous areas could get "heavy freezing rain" so far below freezing. Figured it would be all snow. Wonder if that's an erroneous report.

Yours truly........"Da Azsnowman!" Note the snow drift BEHIND me, I'm 6'4" and that drift is OVER my head...........it doesn't look like it but TRUST me, it IS :ggreen:

YES Ed.........I have a blower, look at the one photo of Michelle.

WOW DENNIS!! :eek:

I just wish that this was the BEGINNING of the winter (for you anyway :wink:

) so there could be more potential for big snows to help your drought situation. You'll need 3 or 4 more of these to help put a bit of a dent in the drought.

Here's AT LEAST to a rainy monsoon season! :37:

Someone must of told winter that it wasn't snowing in Arizona this year. That is amazing!

The big question now from a hydrological standpoint is the moisture content of the snow. If it's a wet snow it will help quite a bit-a dry snow not too much.
About freezing rain, I've seen thunderstorms with freezing rain at temperatures below 24F. It's not how cold the surface layer is but how deep it is, and how warm the overruning air is that counts with ZR vs Sleet.

Wow, 43 inches! I've never had that much snow fall before, not even close. I have seen that much snow on the ground before, though (the mountains are nearby). Those are incredible pictures!

Actually, the NWS did a GREAT job on the forecast, they only missed it by 5".......now THAT'S an ACCURATE forecast 8-)

BTW.......I'm sitting at -8° right NOW :eek:
