On the NOAA Facebook page, they report, “It’s been over 20 years since we’ve had over 100″ of snow in back-to-back years here in Flagstaff. With 96″ on the books so far this Winter, we’re very likely to bust 100″ again with the storm coming this weekend and early next week. But, before the rain/snow comes the wind. A Wind Advisory is in effect for Friday, with even stronger winds expected on Saturday. Here’s some of the winds we’re expecting on Saturday. Not only will travel be difficult for high-profile vehicles, but blowing dust may be an issue across NE AZ.”
