Was quite a day yesterday, with more snow in the mountains and afternoon snow across much of the southeastern Borderlands. Here in the Tucson area there was lightning and thunder at times and numerous showers with graupel (erroneously referred to as ice pellets by some who should know better, and as sleet in this morning's Tucson paper). Photo above is from Kitt Peak webcam looking south to Baboquivari Peak (elevation 7,730 ft MSL). Certainly an icy morning out there. Photo below, from a friend of Art Douglas, shows the early afternoon snow south of Sierra Vista.
I think there were at least six separate showers here at house with graupel, certainly a record for one day. Additional precipitation during the second round of the storm totaled to 0.22" - giving a two day event of 0.66" here at the house. Frosty morning here with a low of 25F.
