Observations from Arizona

A reader in Tucson, Arizona writes:

As a former resident of Maryland, I am following your snowpanic blog with interest. I have memories of many Maryland snowstorms which is probably why I'm writing from Arizona. As I write this, I can hear the birds chirping outside through our open doors, and my husband just returned from playing 18 holes of golf. On the other hand, it sounds like you will probably have a picturesque, snowy Christmas. So we hope everyone stays safe and warm!
