The Mojave is filled with surprises. When you least expect it to snow...it snows. The weather guessers said we had a 70% chance of rain the other day. Turns out we had a 100% chance of snow. We needed to drive to St. George thru the Virgin River Narrows and we were experiencing near white out conditions. As you can see from the first picture, there's a red car in the median going the wrong direction. Going home from St. George thru the black of night, the conditions were worse. The big trucks which speed up and down I-15 were slowed to 40 to 45 mph. It was impossible to see 5 feet ahead.
The next morning, we awakened to snowy mountains in the background and our typical desert landscape. It's still cold and there is a dusting of snow on the mountains around town.In addition, as soon as the sun starts to fall below the horizon, a cool permeates the air.
