Winter 2013-14 was one of the driest on record for Red Rock Country. In January, we only received 0.69 inch of rain compared to our average of 3.03 inches according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. This was great news for visitors seeking relief from cold temperatures and blizzards on the East Coast, but for us locals, we missed the beauty of Sedona covered in a dusting of snow. So Santa Claus (or the weather gods), if you’re reading this, all we want for Christmas this year is a snowy Sedona.
