We watched clouds swirl across the mountain peaks in the AM before we started - but Pusch Peak was clear and it looked like a great place to watch the storm... It didn't take long for the storm to catch us though, waves of precipitation rolled towards and over us, rain first - then hail - then snow, when we reached the peak it had been eaten by the clouds - too cold to linger we started back down.

The Santa Catalina Mountains had several days of winter storm - while the links below are now 'old' a number of them have interesting pictures - some showing the snow on the mountain!
