Snow in and Around Phoenix

We don't get much snow in Phoenix. Although you may have heard about snowball fights taking place, and snowmen (and snowwomen) being erected around town on March 11, 2006, the official weather for Phoenix happens at Sky Harbor International Airport, and there was no measurable snow there. In the higher elevations surrounding the Phoenix metro area, at around 2,000 of elevation and higher, there was snow.

Here are some photos of snow submitted by About Phoenix Visitors. The last time we had snow in the greater Phoenix area was on December 6, 1998. The snow was in the northeast part of the Valley. It still didn't officially count for Phoenix, however, because there was only a trace of snow at Sky Harbor. The last time there was officially measurable snow in Phoenix was in 1937.
