Desert Snow Storm!

What does someone from northern Minnesota do on vacation? Head to the American Southwest to photograph a once in a decade snowstorm in the desert.

Actually it was just dumb luck, and the snow melted by 1 pm. Our AirBnB hosts told us this was only the third snow event they had  seen in 20 years! My location for the photos was a bit north of Tucson. It was truly crazy weather last night … first a downpour and 40+ mph winds. The rain then turned to snow and dead calm conditions. Upon waking up this morning the scene was truly magical. I quickly headed out at sunrise (behind clouds), but found a “Kodak Location” for later (around 9 am) when I there was a 30 minute window of blue skies.
