Do they still put the ac's on top of these twig houses in Arizona? 

Yup. My mom's house has one. Did any houses in Florida have the roof top set up, or is it strictly a desert thing?

Your house can't possibly be shaking...

That was sarcasm, my friend...

Unless it's made of twigs... 

That was sarcasm, too. 

It never fails. Everytime there's snow in the forecast for Flagstaff, dispatch sends me up there...

I think this is the only community I know of where the warm season is so widely disliked. You guys are crazy lol.

This is a cold and snow based weather board in general. Not sure why you're surprised. 

I, however, am a warmanista and despise winter in general...unless an historic storm is in the offing.

There was even a tornado that touched down and did damage in the Los Angeles suburb of Monebello late Wednesday morning, which LA NWS recently confirmed was an EF-1. 

Wow... 

So how wet has it been in Arizona?

Year to date, the PWS a couple blocks from my house has received 4.06" of precipitation. Average annual precip is 7.75", so we've already passed the halfway point to our annual average...in less than three months. 

63 in Tamaqua today after a morning low of 22.

Makes sense really as an inversion or decouple (different events in some aspects) are usually better when lower.  I was surprised I made it down to 24 so far up.  It was 15 degrees higher just a few miles from me up the mountain. 

I saw that a lot, where it would be 40 in Tamaqua (800ft) and pushing 60 in Hazleton (1,700ft).

Just think. I single handedly ended the drought out here. The Salt River reservoirs are so full that they are doing dam releases and making the normally dry river bed through Phoenix look like the Susquehanna. 

Here's a pic from today. It's the I-10 Salt River crossing near Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport. It's a normally dry river.

Yea tomorrow looks cold with the wind. The week warms up - might hit 70 Thursday. Mid 50s early week going to mid 60s later. 

And this for me, which is totally absurd. Normal is 80, and these temps are actually slightly below average even for late December/early January.

This is what I am trying to get definition on.  I am hearing that much of the water will run off and the drought is still "on" but local water supplies are refilled for a  period... not sure.   Looks like USGS has most of Arizona off drought right now though other areas of the west are still D1 or D2. 

From what I'm hearing, Colorado had a decent winter, but for Lake Powell and Lake Mead it would take 10 years of good winters to bring them up to 70 to 80 percent capacity.

It just won't end...

@Voyager needs to move back to Tamaqua by next November!

He will bring us Winter!

No doubt...

That's exactly what I've gotten, 0.9", lol. Chances of making it to an inch look slim.

Man, that sucks...

Should've put money on the Eagles/Chiefs Superbowl too. 

Nickel and dime? Some of you guys didn't even get the .9 that the gas stations show on their signs...

When Tucson, AZ has more seasonal snow than PHL, something's wrong.

I hope it gets as hot, dry and sunny as Death Valley this was the most miserable cold season in my life.

And what's amazing is that it's been well below normal out here in Phoenix about 75% of all days since November 5th. 

I was hoping to revel (and gloat to friends/family) about the nice winter weather, and how I was (not) missing all the snow and cold back east.

That worked out well...

How about flagstaff? Stopping there as well

Flag had about 3 ft on the ground a week ago, but it's been warm, so I suppose it's been whittled down fairly significantly.

Hey voyager, curious how much snow the north rim has currently. April 4th through 11th ill be in Vegas, then grand canyon, on way to Phoenix

I know for the season that they got more than Flagstaff. As for what's currently on the ground, I couldn't tell you.

Wife said it was snowing in Tamaqua. Sounds like a car topper at this point, though. School was on a 2 hour delay, but then closed outright. Not sure why.

If Atlanta gets more snow than me for the season I'm going to laugh so damn hard

It can happen. Right now, Tucson has more than Philly.

Just need to drive an hour and a half hmmmm…..

If I were still in Tamaqua, it would take me 5 minutes to get to the watch area in Carbon County...

Who's up for a snownado??? Pretty cool video of one here...

Apparently Tamaqua is getting the goods tonight...

what a joke 1" in Reading and nearly 8 in at ABE   Give me a break. That run is on drugs. Overdose on heroin model run and Narcan cannot even save it. 

Not saying you are wrong, but I've seen this scenario with my own eyes. Coming down off the Blue Mountain on 309 into the Lehigh Valley you can see, off to the right, the entire Valley from west of Fogelsville to Bethlehem. A few years back, the eastern half (toward Bethlehem) was white, and the western half was brown.
