It might have. In Arizona. If you are brave enough, take a look at the GFS Kuchera clown map at 192 hrs. The EURO cuts those numbers in half, but still...
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.
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...
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.
