We didn't get the big storm as forecasted as that stayed north of Tucson, but it's drizzling and colder. I just got done covering all the plants. The citrus trees are all inside.

TUCSON (KGUN9-TV) - Widespread showers moved through southern Arizona Saturday. Rain totals ranged from a few hundredths of an inch, to about 0.20 inches in most locations by 3 PM.
Some observers on MT. Lemmon reported 3.5 to 4 inches of snow had fallen by noon Saturday, with 2 inches reported at the MT. Lemmon Fire Department. Light snow was also been reported at Oracle and Saddlebrooke, but no accumulation.
The bulk of the rain showers is expected to end around 9 or 10 PM Saturday night, though some lingering showers may occur later across Greenlee, Graham, and far eastern Cochise counties. A Winter Weather Advisory remains through 11 PM Saturday night for the mountain areas. Snow levels will be around 4000 to 4500 feet, with any accumulation expected to be above 6000 feet.
Temps are expected to dip well into the 30's Saturday night, into early Sunday morning. But most locations from Tucson eastward and southward, are expected to stay above freezing.
A strong warm, drying trend will return Sunday through next week.
