Good ol Arizona. Down south of us here in Central Utah, my son lives in St. George. 113 there. He says it was 118 yesterday.
It seems strange to think that some are freezing as we're roasting. Fires here too. Stay warm. I can't wait until winter comes.Friday 12th of July 11.05a.m. Early sun to cloud cover. 3.7 / 5.5kph NE, Hg 45%, 16.2C / 61.2F top of 18C / 64F. Partly cloudy. Marine wind warning:

Moon is 32.5%
Snow likely a long way north of the mountains

One thing we haven't seen so far this winter in Australia – and which we barely saw through the whole of last winter – is snow in areas beyond the alpine regions of NSW, Victoria and Tasmania.
But snow looks highly possible over a period of several days beginning early next week in places like:
The cold air is set to reach southeastern Australia by Saturday, with single-digit maximums likely in all the aqua-blue areas on the map below.
- The Blue Mountains, just west of Sydney
- The Southern, Central and Northern Tablelands of New South Wales
- Elevated parts of the ACT, including relatively low hills on the fringe of Canberra and perhaps even parts of the city itself
- Elevated parts of Victoria outside the Victorian Alps
- Elevated parts of Tasmania below the mountainous areas
- And perhaps even in the Granite Belt of southern Queensland

But the coming weather will deliver more than just a day or two of chilly weather. A prolonged outbreak of frigid air with Antarctic origins will envelope southeastern Australia for most of next week from this weekend onwards.
Wedged between a strong high pressure system centred over the Bight and a low in the Tasman Sea, this lingering, bitterly cold airmass will make it feel like someone left the fridge door open for several days.
It will be cold, even for July: that much we can guarantee. What remains uncertain at this stage is how much moisture will be associated with system, and when it will arrive.
