"Christmas at Comstock" event in the Phoenix area.
A Christmas event in the Phoenix area attracts thousands of visitors a day, creating massive traffic jams in the area as cars line up for miles to see the 13 homes and synchronized lighting between them. More than 110,000 lights, 50,000 feet of wire, 300-plus strobes, and various snow machines and other attractions spread out among 13 adjacent homes. "Christmas on Comstock" won the $50,000 grand prize during ABC'S "The Great Christmas Light Fight" last year.
Temperatures were slightly cool by desert standards, and folks touring the festivities were dressed up in jackets and hats and gloves. This part of a system bringing very cold temperatures and snow to the Midwest is bringing a chill into the desert areas of the southwest.
