2nd true blizzard of the season for us

Before Christmas we had the first true blizzard in a few years here in Flagstaff - We commonly get 2+ feet snows, but this also had 60 mph winds and whiteout conditions.

From Monday until yesterday at 1pm we had accumulated over 3 feet - then Yesterday evening it turned to a hard rain - which turned everything to slush on the roads, and then we got high winds and more snow last night. They're saying we could get another 1-2 feet by Sat making this a top 3 all time storm here.

I'll take a picture later. We've had a few buildings collapse - not sure how many more will go if we really have 4-5 feet accumulated plus the ice from the rain

I had no idea you got snow that far south, but now that I think about it...duh. Good luck shoveling!

We got a decent snow today too, which is a little odd this time of year. Normally it is just too cold and dry about now for any snow. Wonder if I am supposed to be sad it snowed, or happy that it warmed up enough to snow lol

I get it all the time, and its understandable since most of AZ is desert. I didn't even know what the desert would look like until I moved out here.
