Greg should have been able to see the snow that covers the hills/mountains surrounding the Valley from his house (assuming he took a peek outside today). It was so clear after the rain, you could see snow-covered hills from up north (Cavecreek/Carefree area) all the way to the east side of the Valley (from McDowell Mountains in North Scottsdale to the Superstition Mountains east of Mesa). A rare site to see.
