Winter in Phoenix

Like the rest of the world, winter here has been a little different. Maybe more like normal then the first winter here. It's definately colder then last winter. After the storms this weekend there's visable snow on the mountains toward the north of the valley and there was snow this afternoon in the north part of the valley as well. Last weekend I was out early to work the Rock 'N' Roll marathon in Tempe. We had to be on site, outside, at 4:30 AM and it was 26 degrees. I still have a few nice warm jackets but I wish I had remembered to wear some thermal underwear. Might have been my only chance all winter here. I'm sure not heading up to Flagstaff just to see snow or get into some cold weather. I send buses up there nearly everyday so I get to see snow dripping and melting off buses here. That as close to snow as I want to get.
I added some new photos. Some are just of the sky here today. There was even some thunder. Those clouds were the ones dropping snow to the north and a few rain drops here. You can also see what's behind the house here. There's a bunch of family farms with horses, sheep and goats. And I don't mind them as neighbors one bit. The company I work for did all the transportation for the bowl games here. There's a pic of my truck on the tar mac at Sky Harbor. Over the two weeks I was out there a lot escorting buses for charter pickups and departures. Mostly at Southwest of course!! It was a long and tiring event doing three bowl games. But it was just a dress rehersal for next years college bowl games and the super bowl. Our planning for the Super Bowl is already in progress.
There's a couple of pics of the garage too. I love the garage here. Finally a BIG garage for my truck and still lots of room left over.
