It’s snow joke as desert gets a dusting
Snow balls —
While forecasts hinted at a morning frost, few expected a deluge of snow at the World Golf Championships which is being played at 2,800 feet above sea level. Over two inches of snow fell in under 24 hours, leaving conditions unplayable.

Caught cold —
This cactus must feel confused after being covered in snow. Used to living in extreme heat in the desert, this cactus is left with more than a smattering of the white stuff.

Scraping a living —
It's not just on the course where the snow caused havoc. Organizers were forced to get their scrapers out to make sure fans could sit down and enjoy a drink or two.

White out —
Just over three-and-a-half hours of golf was possible on Wednesday because of driving rain, sleet and then snow after 23 of the 32 matches had started with none finishing. Play eventually got back underway on Thursday after a four-and-a-half-hour delay.

Fancy a putting session on the ninth green? This was the scene Thursday as the players were forced to wait for the snow to melt and weather to clear.

Keeping watch —
"Frosty the Snowman" keeps cool while the players get back to work in Arizona. Frosty is modeling a new hat too.
