Watch: Rare Desert Snow Falls in Phoenix
The Plains blizzard brought unexpected snow to Arizona
Related: Winter
A saguaro cactus dusted with snow? It's not a sight you see often, that's for sure. Still, this week's massive Plains blizzard has stretched so far and wide that it's brought snow to a wide swath of locales, including Phoenix. Snow from the winter storm covered the ground and the surrounding mountains, leaving a beautiful, if unexpected, landscape.

They are Republicans and tea party and religious nut cases. Science means nothing to them. They where told it's gods will and just like terrorists who kill innocent people, they know they are right.

A theory must be able to predict the future to be a good theory. The current global warming models have not predicted the last twenty years. They should be discarded or modified!

While there have been some inaccuracies as far as land temperatures, which have remained statistically flat for about 8 years, ocean temperatures have continued to rise at a rate consistent with, and sometimes outpacing, the model.
Thank you Dr. Frankenreefer.
