OK, we _do have snow, but it's not "real". We had seven inches in November
of 1971 and two inches on Christmas Day of 1986. We had some on Easter
Sunday a couple of years ago. I took pictures of the birds fighting at the
bird feeder. They went through 15 pounds in just a few hours. Poor little
things. They didn't even notice me when I went out to take pictures of
them.

Here's one of a tiny finch fluffed to the max. Taken from about 10% of a
slide. It's not that good.

I like Mt. Lemmon for cooling off as it's always a good 25 degrees cooler up
there. It was 70+ today but will get cold - 62 by the weekend. Did you go
to the U of A here?
