Snow, In Phoenix??

You've got to say that being a weatherman in Phoenix is bloody easy. It's going to be hot tomorrow, and then it's going to be hot the day after that too. See, I can do it already (grin). But just last night on our local CBS news, he uttered the outragous statement that we could get snow on Wednesday - in Phoenix.

So, needless to say, when I see that pig flying around the top of my house I'll believe said weatherman.


Didn't you guys have snow a while back...

Yeah, some parts of the Valley (as Metro Phoenix is known) had what I'd like to describe as softish rain/slushy stuff a few years back. Didn't settle on the ground of course and there has been some debate as to whether it really was snow. I didn't get any of the "whatever is was" in my area though and I'm always sceptical whenever I hear the words snow and Phoenix in the same sentance (grin).

From the ashes of its own snowfall, the Phoenix will rise again.

I've always thought it would be great to be a weather(man|person). How many jobs can you name where you can be absolutely, 100%, no-doubt-about it wrong almost all of the time, and at the end of the day, everyone says "See you tomorrow!"?
