Deep Freeze in Phoenix


You may have heard that Phoenix is having a deep freeze. Yes, it occasionally happens every few years or so, and I love it. Btw, I just peeked out at our thermostat and it's 24 degrees in Tempe. I think I'll have Randy build me a fire in the woodstove when he gets home.


Vintage Phoenix on Facebook posted this photo of downtown Tempe in the 30's. Now that I want to see in my lifetime. Snow in Tempe! Ha!



These images were captured a couple years ago at 15th Avenue & Butler in Phoenix. My friend Kathy was driving by Butler Park and could not believe her eyes!


This happens when the sprinkler system is left running during a deep freeze, leaving quite a thrill for us desert dwellers. Icicles are a rarity in these parts. ha!


Hope you can hunker down in your part of the country and be cozy warm.

Yes, it is pretty....but I am over it. Where is our 70 weather. I don't want to go to straight 100!! and I don't have a winter coat, so basically, I am staying in!

My son was in Phoenix over the weekend and couldn't believe the cold. He thought he had left the chilly temp's behind when he left Vancouver!
