Rare Snowfall Transforms Rocky Desert into Surreal Winter Wonderland

People living in Arizona don’t get to see snow very often, but this winter has been particularly magical. During the past few weeks, the Sonoran desert has been covered by a coat of white snow which completely transformed the way it looks. The usually red and dry terrain became all white and soft and people couldn’t get enough of it.

Locals started sharing photos and the rest of the world shared them for everyone to see. We must agree, the view is pretty spectacular. The scenes from the Grand Canyon on New Year’s Day show the magical sight and we can only assume how incredible it looks in person.
