I know many of you are very used to snow, but here in the deserts of Arizona, we rarely get snow. We certainly don't get anything called a blizzard. But this time, we were warned for days of the coming blizzard.
That is historically noteworthy as it's the first 'blizzard' I've experienced. It's an occasion that calls for picture taking! Would you humor me and let me share a few of my favorites? Ok, it's more than a few, but humor me anyway, this only happens once a century or so.
Everything after this was not at my home. I went for a drive to see what the snow had done to the country-side. Mind you, I don't drive about in snow. This was a somewhat frightening experience. Especially once I got to the mountain pass where there were steep grades and iced over roads. I didn't really know enough about the danger I was in. Luckily, I was protected and escaped with only a very very full bladder after having to wait for a road to be reopened due to the dangers thereon.
I would have done even more photography, but the fact that the roads were icey and I couldn't pull off them because I wouldn't have been able to get back on ended up limiting me quite a bit. Next time this happens I'll be taking the 4-wheel drive! I hope you enjoy!
