Arizona snowstorm paralyzes Interstate 40, dumps over 2 feet of snow
Williams picked up two feet of snow Friday, as did Arizona Snowbowl, which received 36 inches of snow in two days. Mormon Lake, Parks and Ash Fork picked up 16 inches of snow while the Flagstaff Airport and Munds Park measured 13 inches of snow.
Downtown Flagstaff saw nine inches and Doney Park saw eight inches, although higher elevations saw more. Interstate-40 saw many slide offs and accidents in and around Williams, which left many people stranded for several hours.
There were several vehicles stranded due to an accident on Highway 89 near Grey Mountain Friday night. The National Weather Service forecasts a warming weekend into Monday, then a small storm is expected to move in Tuesday with a possible larger one Thursday.
up here that's not untypical every other week so we don't give it another thought, but the unfortunate folks who are unprepared for driving in snow, let alone deep snow, will be stuck in a real unpleasant experience.
god speed snowplows !
