PHOENIX — It snowed where it was expected to snow in Arizona over the long holiday weekend but for the Phoenix area, the cold meant waking up to 40 degrees Monday, after rain and wind ended the break.
The National Weather Service reported winds gusted up to 48 mph during Sunday night’s storm.

Plenty of yards will likely be a bit of a mess in the Valley after the wind. The prettiness went to the snowy places.

ADOT plows at work on I-40 westbound in Flagstaff. Stay at least 4 car lengths behind snow plows and only pass when they pull off. #azwx pic.twitter.com/brj2muM4eB

Mt. Lemmon snow stick confirms it: 3" of fresh powder overnight. (Each tick mark on the 3 foot stick = 3" snow depth) #azwx #KVOAwx #snOMG pic.twitter.com/KOfbcOLxLX
