A
winter
storm
brought
a
rare
sight
of
snow
fl
urries
to
the
area
early
New
Year's
Eve
morning.
Bouse
residents
brought
snowballs
to
clerks
at
Horizon
Com-
munity
Bank,
while
folks
in
Quartzsite
headed
out
early
in
the
morning
taking
photos
of
the
beautiful
snow
dusting
the
surrounding
hills.
The
snow
quickly
melted,
but
the
freezing
temperatures
remained
for
days,
which
caused
broken
water
pipes,
damaged
plants,
and
created
long
lines
of
RVs
fi
lling
propane
tanks
at
local
propane
businesses.
Temperatures
are
expected
to
return
to
nor-
mal
just
in
time
for
the
peak
tourist
season.
