Friends tell me it snowed in the Phoenix metro area over the weekend.

One colleague claimed on the news they showed a girl in Mesa playing in the snow—in flip flops.

Another said on the news, they interviewed several people from the snowy areas and under their names it said “Saw Snow” as their newsworthy relevance.

The reporter in North Scottsdale described her special experience with frozen precipitation as “softer than hail but harder than snow.” Some of you might call this sleet.
