Re: Arizona receives heavy snowfall
I've lived here in AZ for twelve years now. This is not as uncommon as you might think. The areas getting hammered are around 6500 ft and higher. It's pretty normal for highway shutdowns about once or twice a winter.

This closure was especially inconvenient for me as ADOT did not close the f'n highway north of Phoenix to Flagstaff untill it was good and loaded with alpine inthusiasts excited to get to the resort for a perfect pow day.

In AZ, they will close the interstates for snow and ice if you dump a slurpie out the window of you car.

These people's caint drive good in snow.

not entirely true... Sedona, AZ got hammered all day today (I am here) and we are only at about 4500 feet.

I hope the interstates open back up by Tuesday... I thought it was rather weird that up in Illinois and such, it was in the 70's, and down in AZ, it was in the 30's and snowing. Odd winter, for sure!

I've been asleep all day really... the only time I can sleep is under heavy rainfall. Other days I'm pretty wide awake, and alert.

We got a little bit of snow here in central California at around 650 feet in elevation. That's surprisingly low.

We get snow every winter in northern AZ. This isn't that unusual.

I've been there several times in 2-4 feet of snow and as cold as 0 degrees.
 Quoting: snarky74


Ahhh, but snow and cold in Arizona, while we have 80 degrees in Minnesota IS weird! Poles have shifted some, that would be one possibility. We can now switch our state names around a little bit. We are now Minnezona, and you are Arisnowta! tounge

They had no strategy or plan or answers for that matter. Just a blank look and a bad attitude.

Get this.

We called 511 to get the scoop on the driving conditions before we left Phoenix, I17 was open per info on 511. We rolled out, crossed under the first giant reader board for road conditions that you pass in Black Canyon City, and it read "winter driving conditions". We get all the way to the rest stop area above Sedona, the next reader board now says I17 closed. As I drove by the guys flagging us back south, I asked "What the hell...?". And the jackass said

"there are weather signs on the I17 all the way from Phoenix. You should have read them."

So stupid, I couldn't even answer.

Re: Arizona receives heavy snowfall
It's not abnormal for snow in northern AZ, it happens pretty much every year. Now if there was two feet of snow in southern AZ it might be kinda strange. I've lived in southern AZ all my life and I've only seen it snow a few times and it was only an inch or so at the most. In short there hasn't been anything abnormal here, some pole shift, or anything doom related.

NO, it is NOT weird. READ the posts in this thread by those of us that live here in Arizona........IT ALWAYS SNOWS 2 TO 4 FEET IN NORTHERN ARIZONA EVERY YEAR.

It's a little cool in Phoenix but nothing that unusual for this time of year. We have had one hell of a mild winter with temps already getting into the mid 80's.

The Grand Canyon shows 7 ocean layers in its crust history what was once may be again.
 Quoting: MoonChildChazz

Good point. For those who expect a pole shift soon - I don't know what to think about that, really, so no offense, just lack of info - I hear if you see seashells in the dirt, you're not high up enough. I lived in AZ a long time and am not too far away from the border now, and we're getting hammered with snow and wind, but I live just about at 8,00 ft. altitude, and there are no seashells in the dirt around here. However, there are lots of 'dormant' volcanoes all over this area, as there are all over north AZ.....

The Southwest is never easy to predict. The weather has been squirrely for as long as I can remember, particularly in higher altitudes. And I-40 is one of the worst places at least till middle of May! I am surprised to hear about Chicago. That's one of the coldest damned places to spend a winter I've ever seen.
