I know Flagstaff is way up there, how's the snow Southwest of there, at lower elevations? Here in SoCal we're getting pretty consistent snowfall from about 3,500ft and above.

I think it's heavy snow for at least a 50 mile radius, much further to the southeast as it's all high elevation.

We, on the other hand, are enjoying a very, mild Winter, and very little snow, here in Michigan Snowed twice, for a total of 8 inches! This after Polar Vortex, and record snow, the last two Winters. I feel your pain, it took forever for Spring!

20 or so years ago I fell asleep on a Greyhound and woke up in Flagstaff. It was so cold and there was so much snow...it was almost unbelievable.

After arriving in Colorado I was equally blown away that it gets 100+ degrees just 50 miles east of the mountains.

If anybody had told me it got cold and snowy in Arizona....and then went on to say it gets 100+ in Colorado...I would have thought they were bonkers.

You can swim in your back yard pool in Phoenix in the morning and then drive to Flagstaff and snow ski that same afternoon..

Flagstaff is a nice area....

It's been a bad weekend in the bluegrass state also started snowing Friday morning and stopped sat night. Left us with 22 inches on the ground in eastern Ky. Almost had to use the old Racer just to find our car and truck today.
