The wider storm

A strong and moist Pacific storm system moved across northern Arizona for four days. This produced heavy to very heavy rain and snow across the area. Snow and rain started falling on February 27 and continued through March 2. Snow from this storm system went on to trigger several avalanches in the mountain peaks above 11,500 feet just north of Flagstaff in March.
