The last day of the year broke cold across the Valley and the state.
As the sun began to rise, the scene was almost eerie in some neighborhoods with frosted roofs and front-yard plants covered with sheets and blankets.
The official low temperature Friday morning – the one taken at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport – was a brisk 32 degrees.
That was actually 2 or 3 degrees warmer than expected, the result of a cloud cover that hovered over much of the Valley acting as a blanket.
There was a low of 30 at Scottsdale Airport, 31 at Deer Valley Airport. It got down to 26 degrees at Punkin Center near Roosevelt.
These unusually cold temperatures are the result of a strong low pressure system, which is pulling down frigid air from the north.
The forecast for Saturday is nearly identical to today.
But do not seek relief from a fire. Today is a non-burn day.
