That is weird right Dennis having snow in may in the SW?

OH no Dennis! I hope you get your spring time soon :o

Dennis is going to have one day of spring followed by 90 days of summer at this rate lol

that a.) The White Mountains go up to over 10000 feet and are in the northern half of AZ and that b.) even I in SV at 4500 feet have seen rain mixed with snow in early May, snow in the SW in May is not only not unusual but relatively common at elevation.

That's right, I've seen accumulating snows in May, the snow stays on the ground for about 3 hours then it's gone, O'TAY, here's the lastest from NWS FLAG:
