08/03: Winter Storm

Posted by: The Agnew Family
Ended up running a few errands yesterday and not much else as the cold is still winning. Hopefully, I be better soon.
A winter storm hit the Phoenix area today. The plan had been to get up early and be on the road by 7:30am in hopes to beat the storm ... unfortunately the storm didn't read the weather forecast and arrived a couple of hours early. As we didn't need to be in Tucson today, we decided to stay put for another day.
Apache Junction got just under an inch of rain and some high winds, other areas around Phoenix received larger quantities of rain as well as hail and graupel. Tucson avoided precipitation but had 25 to 35 mph winds.
The Budget RV Park in Apache Junction is a really nice simple RV park.
We could see the Superstition Mountains from the rv park.
The on ramp near the park had a family of quails while the ramp at the next exit had a Roadrunner.
Happy saguaros, think they must get watered occasionally.
This yard is almost a saguaro forest.
