It’s not every day you see fluffy, white snow sitting atop tall cacti in the desert of Arizona.
The extraordinary footage above shows a snowy Saguaro National Park in Arizona on Thursday, March 3, after snowstorms swept across the west last week.
The National Weather Service reported that 4.8 inches of snow impacted the Tuscon area last Thursday.
This just goes to show just how wet, wild, and snowy the 2022-23 winter has been for the West.
It’ll be a winter we talk about for a long, long time…
