Arizona receives heavy snowfall | |

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. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 4842144 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! |

Makes perfect sense.... 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. 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! |

Supposed to hit 79 by Wednesday...this is crazy.... Quoting: amywood71605 May temperatures and blue skies now in the real heart of Europe. 1800 ft. altitude in Czech-Moravian Highlands. 3 days of more than 20 degrees Celsius. Even spraying chemtrails has no effect. The Sun is really hot from the very morning, night skies are wonderful and clear as I remember from my child times. Smthng is behind it. I know the Great change is coming as a result of meeting Her 12 years ago. She is the Pope Great Arcana of Tarot. Jimi Hendrix was in The Knowledge writing down the song of Foxy Lady And and all he was singing of - was done to me and Her. Her son is The Magician, Number One in his age of 8. But from my point of view, not the reincarnated entity of Isa/Yehoshua but another one from the highest priests. How do I know it ? All those remembering it are dead. Those of bad intentions first. She is not talking to me from the Day of Isis of Gregorian 2000 but I'm still in love with Her. Great bronze statues were made by those in the knowledge. U can see them traveling from Olomouc to Hranice in Czech rep. near the highway. I can send U pictures. Baraka. Who is me ? |

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. |

I've dealt with interstate closures in other states (like OK and MO) and they are never really all that nice. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 9489597 United States 03/19/2012 12:28 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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. |

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. ....now if we were to get a few inches of snow in Southern Arizona, THAT would be weird.

We have had one hell of a mild winter with temps already getting into the mid 80's. I am always amazed by the amount of people that don't realize Northern Arizona is high country and it snows there EVERY year. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 12725339 United States 03/19/2012 03:00 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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. |
