Bob's house across the way, 9am, Tuesday
Winter hit us hard last Monday (December 7) when some 24+ inches fell in as many hours. By evening, winds reached speeds of 50-60 mph, making the first storm of '09-'10 a blizzard by definition. What's more, it was the first blizzard to hit Flagstaff in a decade. The town was pretty much shut down from Monday night until mid-Tuesday (all schools and universities closed). Stranded elk hunters were still being rescued as of Friday. Some will probably have to wait until spring to get their cars/trucks/campers, and I suspect anything they shot but had to leave behind will have been picked cleaned by the coyotes and mountain lions long before then.
