We are having some very strange weather here in Scottsdale, Arizona, as yesterday’s snap discloses.

Here are two more from yesterday taken at sunset, the first in teeming rain, the second replete with drama and show.

Add to that the fact that Flagstaff, some 2 hours north of here and at 7,000 feet above sea level, just reported 35.9 inches of snow in one day, the highest on record. And there are still those who deny the reality of climate change, with sea levels rising and glaciers melting. Wow!

Wild climate.

This is from my doorstep at 1,700 feet above sea level. The snowy peak is at 2,850 feet, in the adjacent Preserve.

Long time locals tell me this sort of thing happens maybe 3 times in a quarter century.
