Title: Snow in Desert, Pinnacle Peak Patio.
Post by: NUKE on December 21, 2004, 08:52:30 PM

Anyone ever been here?

Well, this pic is from about 15 years ago. I have a bunch of others from this day....snowman, cactus,  and everything.

Basically it's Phoenix and snowing pretty well in the desert.

WOW that's cool.  THe desert I around me doesnt have snow but all the mountains here do.....plus if you drive 40 min north to tehachapi usually you'll find snow there.

Right now we are having a 45 degree difference  between night and day.  Its freakin weird.

Cool pic.  We can have a 45 degree difference in an hour here, and usually do 3-4 times a year.

This steakhouse is kinda famous ( google pinnacle peak patio) and snow is VERY rare here, let alone this much.

I always have wondered if the place would buy my pic......but watermelon on that.....unless they wanna pony up some big cash, I'm keeping my artistic  integrity :cool:

If you were smart, you would make an 8x10, frame it and get a free dinner.

Nuke, ate there many times while I was in pilot training at Willie. Good food; I like Riata Pass a lot too. Is it still there?

Yup I know exactly what night you're talking about my wife was driving home that night from lake elizabeth through the mountains and was lucky to make it home.

I live on Edwards AFB, and I guess it hasn't snowed here in 10 years.  We would have gotten snow that night had it been a tad bit cooler.  Got sleeting rain instead.

Last time we had enough snow to stick on the ground in Tucson was in 87. Nasty cold stuff!

I was showing this pic to some guys at work and realised that the car looks photoshoped.

Anyway, I took this digital pic by using my digital camera and taking a picture of an actual photographic  4x6" print.....ala copystandish.

Great steakhouse though.
