This was the winter storm to end all winter storms as Arizona standards go!!! It swept in Monday, January 18th and lasted through Saturday, January 23rd. It came in waves and brought with it record rains for Phoenix (nearly 6 inches in places) and record snows in Flagstaff and the White Mountains (nearly 5 feet at the base of the mountain in Flagstaff and almost 8 feet at the peak.) I personally have never seen this much snow at one time in my entire life. Love it or hate it, you couldn't help but stare in amazement!!
The early stages of the storm.
Yoshi is not pleased :-).
Our neighbor shoveling the roof.
By Thursday things were really getting intense.
The snow is taller than Yoshi now.
Everything is getting buried.
Our street sign ... it is the normal height of a street sign.
The snow is almost up to the roof.
My illustration of the accumulation ... unbelievable!!!
The calm after the storm ... simply STUNNING!!!
