It probably won't last long enough for you to have to shovel it. Unless you're at a high elevation.

I'm a truck driver and southern Californians are bad enough in the rain, they are just insane in the snow.

Here is something really insane.

message on his answering machine...he must be getting calls for the same condition...he explains because it is so cold, the sound we are hearing is the unit pushing the cold air out of the house...the superstition mountains are too clouded over to see the snow..we are in Phoenix/Mesa area..haven't had rain like this forever...last time I saw snow here was 2007...and it is cold.....stay warm....

in a four night frost 6 years ago, that it has barely recovered. But I think saguaro can sop up so much water that they become top heavy and keel over. Especially ones that have been transplanted.

OK, not very much, just enough to make the ground white for a hour or so, but it was real snow. It's a rare event and we couldn't even remember the last time it snowed here. The big pupper was not impressed.
