Finally I can appreciate the weather everyone in the US has been experiencing in the Northeast, Southeast, Midwest and Northwest.
Yes we have snow now in Palm Desert. See at the top of the mountain in the photo!

Late snowfall in the desert was not limited to California. Earlier this week there were two feet of snow at the Vermilion Cliffs National Monument in Northern Arizona near Page, and a foot of snow at the El Tovar hotel on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon.

Winter snowfall in the Arizona and New Mexico desert is normal, but this much snow this late in the year is unusual. Of course, in California, if one wants snow you drive to it.A foot? A whole foot, you say? However did you poor souls struggle through?
Excuse me for a moment while I grab an extension cord and hair dryer to melt sufficient ice off my encased-in-frozen-rain car so that I can get a door open. That's what it's really like. The only thing worse than eleven below (the temperature upon waking a few days ago) and a foot of snow (which we got on Saturday-Sunday) is a warming trend that results in freezing rain. Not that I'm complaining.

Or bringing your car battery into the house and putting it back under the hood in the morning, which used to be normal in Detroit or Chicago.Uh, no. You can't appreciate this until you have to keep the cabinet doors under the kitchen sink open to keep the pipes from freezing.
In Austin that would be pretty normal. It is what we are having. What’s with those people who love the summertime? People plan and hold outdoor activities in such weather! Yikes!The weather for this weekend in New York will be very hot 95-100, anyone experiencing it too?
Heading to Otter Crest next week!It's not looking like anything above the low 80's for the rest of the month. Damn, I love the PNW!

And where our hottest temps are about the mid 90s in central PA, 105 feels like 120! In my plant (powder metal manufacturing) temps run about 98-100 degrees year round. So when it is hotter outside, than inside, the place feels like it has AC (plus the inside heat is dry).^^Howard:
A few evenings back I learned from the TV evening news weather report that 94 degrees around here feels like 105 degrees. No wonder I seem to be always hiding in the air conditioning! Jeez Louise.![]()
