Heavy snowfall brings needed precipitation to northern Arizona, leads to closures, fatal accidents

Passing On Through

A BNSF freight train makes its way through downtown Flagstaff just after dawn on Friday, Feb. 14, during a break in a winter storm.

More than tripling the season’s snowfall total in the span of 10 days -- with 33.9 inches of snow coming in Flagstaff between March 6 and March 15 -- some desperately needed precipitation also brought numerous challenges to the northern Arizona region, including multiple fatal accidents.

Sitting at 12.9 inches of snowfall for the season as of March 5, the first round of storms on March 6 and 7 quickly doubled the snowfall totals while breaking a pair of daily records. After 3.0 inches of snow arrived on March 6, March 7’s 15.9 inches of snow instantly doubled the season total while setting a daily record for snow as well as precipitation with 0.96 inches.
