WINTER STORM OVER THE SUPERSTITIONS FEB. 2013

 

Rarely do we see snow on the Superstiton Mountains, so when the sight does appear one has to be prompt is getting pictures of the event.

Our most significant winter storm in 2012 – 2013 was in February. Right after the storm the clouds were so low that we could not see the Supersitions just east of Mesa. I knew I could not wait too long for the clouds to go away as the snow would melt by then. So on the first partly cloudy day after the clouds had begun to rise, I got in the car and looked for vantage points from which to get some pictures of snow in the superstitions. These were taken from three locations in Apache Junction.

These are the better pictures of the 17 I took.

I prefer this one looking north by northeast. A saguaro cactus is in the left foreground and a palo verde tree is in the right foreground.
