As a kid I lived in South Tucson, late 1950s. In the winter we could go ski in the morning up on Mt Lemon and in the afternoon be in the pool. Even did that on Christmas once. Where I live now it may snow but not much if any. Its 75 today and since I don't ski any more I could care less if I never see any snow. Payson is nice--in the summer!

We're already back in Co. but the SIL said it rained in Peoria last night and the puddles were frozen solid this AM.
I remember seeing 13* when I lived in the S-W Valley.

We are from Wisconsin.
When I got up this morning at the Gilbert Ray Campground near Tucson, it was colder there than it was at home.

I have a friend who lives in Payson. We stayed at Houston Mesa campground when we were there in 2018.We stayed at Canyon Point on the way there. Payson has a nice dog park.

Houston Mesa is a great CG that very few people know about. They are currently closed for serious maintenance/improvements but should reopen this spring. We lived in Payson for almost a year before stumbling on it while out for a motorcycle ride. Canyon Point has been one of our favorites for 10+ years but being at 7,700' it is only open from May through October {barring early or late snow}.
Woke to another inch yesterday and after 10 snow events {1 to 4"} this winter going back to November 3 {my brides birthday} we actually have a couple of cool ,clear, blue sky days but... are expecting 1- 3 inches Saturday night/Sunday and more in the forecast for late next week.
Compared to much of the rest of the country this doesn't sound like much but for central Arizona we are loving all of the much needed moisture. Should be an awesome spring as we are already seeing new buds on many of our plants and trees.
Our 40 year old Maple tree got it's first much needed trim/haircut last week. It is covered in buds and should leaf out by mid April:
