It's a tradition in Tucson: When snow makes a rare appearance, people rush outside to take photos in order to prove to others, and perhaps to themselves, that snow actually fell. On Jan. 26, when snow made a rare appearance on campus and throughout the city, we asked you to share images of you, your family and your pets enjoying the fleeting taste of winter.
As we enjoy this week's unseasonably warm weather, remember winter's short visit last month with this photo gallery.
