3 feet of snow pummels Flagstaff, shuts down busy northern Arizona interstates

Feb. 9, 2024 - Fox Weather

More than 3 feet of snow forced officials to close dozens of miles of Interstate 40 through the northern Arizona mountains Thursday into Friday morning, leaving travel snarled across the region and residents busy digging out from a three-day snowstorm...

The prediction came true as eventually hundreds of miles of interstates and highways were closed Thursday due to heavy snow, including large sections of I-40 and I-17, plus US-191. Many of those closures lingered into Friday morning, but all of eastbound and most of westbound I-40 reopened just before 9:30 a.m. MT. 

Heavy snowfall rates of 1-2 inches per hour accumulated to roughly a foot per day in Flagstaff. Through midnight Friday morning, the city has received 36.1 inches of snow at the airport and 34.3 inches in Downtown Flagstaff since Tuesday...

The storm is Flagstaff's biggest snowstorm since an "epic storm" dropped 40.8 inches of snow in Feb. 2019, according to the FOX Forecast Center....

We gifted Flagstaff and I-40 in August 2018, and the following winter came the epic storm. This snow is on the heels of our Tucson gifting in Oct. 2023. The video also mentions the 6 inches of snow coming to Denver this week, and Denver went from temperatures around 80 degrees while we were gifting there in Oct. to freezing with snow a week later!

December in the Sonoran Desert. This is a photo of the Santa Catalina Mts. taken from my front yard in Tucson just as the sun was disappearing in the west. Well-known writer Barbara Kingsolver lived in Tucson for about 20 years. She described this light on the Catalinas as "hot and sweet."

From Rain to Snow in SoCal Mountains

Feb. 6, 2024

We're expecting snow for the next few days. We've hardly had a break from precipitation in Cailfornia and we are now seeing the biggest results of the Denver gifting trip three months later. The point of that trip was to enhance the winter precipitation and it worked. I was expecting more snow than rain, but gridding Albuquerque and Tucson following Denver has brought more moisture from the south.

We have had a lot more rain in the mountains that we've seen in eight years here, even at normally dry times, like January. There has been a lot of snow too, but temperatures have been hovering around freezing, so we've had a mix lately and not much accumulation below 6000 feet. That is changing tonight. Last night's snow melted off, but for the next few days, temperatures should be cold enough at lower elevations for several inches of accumulation. We have a Winter Storm Warning in effect in northern Ventura and Kern County mountains.

I expect that when we tackle a northern city again, we will see more snow returning. Our eyes on on Idaho, a western state we have not gifted yet. Gridding Boise will have a major impact as just about everything to the west of it has already been done. Reno still needs a grid, having only been gifted along freeways. Our work in California is almost complete, with only a little filling in here and there. We have been gridding California, including all the cities, for eight years. Oregon, Washington, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, and New Mexico are thoroughly gridded, but we will still do more. Our first west of the Rockies gifting (and through the Rockies gifting) other than Santa Fe in 2018 was Denver in October 2023.

Precipitation for the next seven days. Everyone is getting some!

Snow Day!

In the wee hours of the morning here in the Old Pueblo it is snowing. Snowing! This is rare. The last time I recall was a quarter-century ago. I think we still had paper photographs then. That time may have been late in March, or early April. It was on an Easter Sunday.

It has been an unusually snowy winter in Arizona. When we went to Moab in mid-February I put new tires on the Subie just in case it snowed more. Our route through northern Arizona promised to be clear. But I-17 had seen closures. And Route 180 between Flagstaff and Tusayan was closed. And it might stay closed until April. The Kachina Peaks were gloriously thick with snow. So were the La Sals outside Moab. In between, as we rolled up and down through varying elevations, the snow cover would wax and wane.

It was a great trip. We went to support my Colorado family’s cross country race. It wound up being canceled. So we had a day to hang out in Moab and enjoy some true cold. But in all the trips I’ve made to that little corner of the world, this was the first time I got to see it with snow. It made me smile.

Now I have to figure out how to get up Old Baldy. I was hoping to kick off the summer hiking season with a hike to the peak. But there is still significant (for us) snow down to Josephine Saddle. Yesterday I looked into snowshoes. No place in town rents them. I’m not sure I know anyone to borrow from. So I’ll have to choose between putting it off—again. Or chugging up the hill in knee deep? thigh deep? hip deep? snow.

So does our wet summer followed by this cool wet winter break our drought? It certainly reduces its category. But we spent three decades building it. And snow evaporates faster than it melts. So I doubt it. But it was a welcome turn of events. It’s nice having a snow day, and nicer having a snow winter.
