This is a good point, but how much is too much? If the excessive runoff is filling the depleted reservoirs, then it's good. If it's just eventually flowing back out into the Pacific, then it's not so beneficial.

It's definitely needed out there (here) even if I don't particularly like it.

And 'till all is said and done, she'll track right over Duluth, MN...

This is what it looked like heading back to Phoenix after delivering and picking up...

lol...it could be.

Guess who got dispatched to Flagstaff...AGAIN.

Nicer than here. It's a windy, rainy, miserable day today.

I remember that. A couple of storms created lots of damage in the Berrysburg area, and the 225 corridor was very green and lush that summer.

I had 20 inches more than you did. According to my station, I had 59.70" in 2022.

Happy 2023 guys, although it's still 2022 out here.

Just took a look. Nasty. I-81 has a speed restriction in place, which I don't ever remember seeing for fog.

See. If you WERE in Phoenix, a short 2 hour drive would put you up in Flagstaff's 8-12 inches of snow...

Are you out here in Phoenix? That's exactly what we have today.

Nice that you got to move where you wanted. Snow was a big player I suppose, but at least your wife (if you're married) was willing to go with you. I had to move to Arizona to be my mom's caregiver, and I had to do it solo. My wife did not (and will not) move out here to be with me or help out. Sad really...

I don't like it when you guys are warm...lol

This is part of what shut it down, and this was before sunrise. The whole area along I-17 above about 5,500ft elevation got 8-12 inches total. The photo was taken by a NWS Flagstaff employee who was trying to get to work.

I never did get to play in the snow. ADOT closed I-17 the last 30 miles into Flagstaff. I'm home now, and it's STILL closed up there. I delivered Prescott, then went back to Phoenix.

Guess who gets to play in the snow in Flagstaff tomorrow? I guess karma's a bioch...

So sorry to hear this. Our pups and kitty's become a part of our families, and the hurt is real. You have my sympathy...

It is so funny how opposite I'm am from most of the forum. My ugh would have come last week in advance of the arctic front...lol

For the year, it's about 7.5 inches. Not sure of month to month, though.

I am, however, going to need this on Wednesday and Thursday.

Guess I'm going to need my hammer and torch today, oh wait...never mind...
