Hey Dennis....glad to hear about all the snow. Good snows at this time of year will hang on at least through much of January even if things calm down a bit.

Looks like clouds and showers return in a few days, and those will only enhance the winterlike conditions up your way.

Can't wait to see the pics. The same area that was under a tornado warning about 15 minutes ago also had fresh wet snow in the foothills at the base of the storm. If a tornado had touched down in Carefree, for example, the backdrop of a photo would have been some fresh snow on the foothills. What a dramatic photo that would have been!

Enjoy the whiteout!!!
