I think we’re at eight inches so far, with another foot expected today, and Lord knows how much more after that.  I remember when we first planned to move to Arizona, everyone I spoke with talked about the vast deserts, the Grand Canyon, and so forth.  Nobody mentioned the weeks long snow storms and feet of snow…
