The Sun Will Come Out. . .

Tomorrow.

It was 15 degrees with 20 mph winds this morning (a record low for Tucson, AZ). It was obvious that this was a record low as it wasn't dealt with very well.

Today, I heard stories of pipes bursting (water and gas), I heard of bikes breaking (tires and chains were so cold that they broke), schools were closed even though there was no snow, and diesel trucks were stranded on the freeway!!

As one of the very talented photographers that follow has said, "Winter is trying to kill us!" You can see her post here: http://365project.org/sassyinthecity/365/2011-02-03

Lol! See! I was right! Everyone knows that AZ can't handle weather under 50 degrees let alone 15 degrees! Great shot! love the individual balls of ice that you can see in the big chunk. Thanks for referring to me as "very talented" lol!

[Brad Johnson]

Very cool shot, Kerri.

[David Wetzel]

Great Capture and this Winter is Crazy

[Margaret Tryon]

Good shot. I hope it heats up for you soon.

[Barb]

Hope that you had lots of layers of clothes to wear!

[cglist]

Neat shot!

[Robert Velten]

Great capture Kerri. It's tough on the people there, the desert is going to take a beating as well. Stay safe and warm.

[Rick Schies]

That is hard to believe for Arizona.

[Pankaj Sharma]

Cool shot I must say..

[joey d.Muli]

great capture....and hopefully the sun will come and shine anytime soon :)

[Allison Williams]

What a winter this has been all over the US, and unfortunately, we're only halfway through the season.

[Heidi Gurov]

Mahaha, I sent it your way on purpose :P Just be happy it wasn't -38! My region of Wyoming was the coldest place in the WORLD yesterday!!! Lowest recorded temp was -53...

I recommend giving all the cacti Snuggies to wear. Would that make a cute photo or what?! (Maybe it's just me, LOL)

[Nancy Holte]

Yikes, you may get to see snow yet! Nice shot!

[Katrina Cristy]

Cold indeed! Four hour frost delay for the Phx Open today! I hope it is nicer tomorrow since I will be out there! Great shot!

[Paul Myers]

That's amazing for your area.

[Barbara Warner]

Way to cold.

[Constance Brinkley]

Too cold and way too cold for Arizona. Stay warm...

[Janice]

Cool shot for a very cold day! Your friend is right - I can't gracefully handle anything less than 50 degrees.

[Brandy]

Great job capturing the cold.

[aikiuser (jenn)]

Brrrr! Nice photo. I'm such a California girl, it makes me cold just looking at this! :-D

[Kerri]

@aikiuser Yeah, I was born and raised in Long Beach, CA! So not used to this!! What part of CA are you from??

[aikiuser (jenn)]

@kerristephens I lived in San Luis Obispo for 20 years (still work there) and now I'm in Grover Beach. LOVE the Central Coast! Was in the mid-west and Colorado for my first 20 years. Still Love the snow...when I'm visiting!

[Kim Lusk]

It got pretty dang cold. Our pipes didn't burst or anything, but we were up at 5am and our neighbor had a thermometer outside, said it was 8 degrees where we live near the Marana exit. 8 degrees! Crazy crazy stuff. Great shot!

[Kerri]

@aikiuser Yeah, California's central coast is gorgeous! My family used to go up the coast for vacation. We went to Morro Bay, Pismo Beach, and the like. I totally loved those places!

[Kerri]

@slytheringirl Wow!! So cold

[Bugik]

Oh my, in Arizona? Hope all is well!
Great capture!
