Sedona AZ – From record snow to the north, to intense rains to the south, Arizona is experiencing its most intense winter storm of the season.

    I-17 just south of Flagstaff. Delay travel in northern Arizona until after the storm passes because of extremely difficult driving conditions. We can’t predict if a highway will close, but closures are possible due to ice, snow or crashes. #aztraffic #azwx

    UPDATE Thur., Feb. 21, 1 p.m. The city continues to plow and cinder our primary emergency routes / state routes as this winter storm event continues. We appreciate the assistance we are getting from Tiffany Construction Company of Sedona.

    Significant snowfall is projected to continue through today, tonight and Friday. In addition, the wind is expected to increase this afternoon. After the snow abates later Friday, another hazard anticipated into Saturday is rain that will freeze as temperatures drop, creating icy and black-ice conditions on roadways.

    At this hour, SR89A from north Uptown through the canyon to Forest Highlands is closed, and ADOT has closed portions of the interstate around Kingman and various state routes in Rim Country in the Payson vicinity and southeast-wards. Get the latest ADOT info at http://www.az511.com.

    The Sedona PD command post number for weather-related questions is 928-203-5111. We continue to strongly advise that you postpone plans to travel, if at all possible, while this storm continues. Stay home and stay safe.

    Visit sedonaaz.gov/snow to learn how the city prepares for and responds to snow events.

    And just what would we do without Steve Segner? Busy, busy boy he is. Well, he better have a heads up beyond just the next few days of weather here. If by chance Flagstaff gets hit with warm spring rain as El Nino conditions are predicted, that’s when Sedona becomes subjected to serious flooding along Oak Creek and elsewhere when the piles and piles of snow further north melt quickly.

    But oh no, Sedona, spend all your time and efforts coddling the rip-off Chamber of Commerce. That’s what they should be memorialized as – The Great Rip-Off Scam of Sedona.

    Thanks to ADOT for keeping our two state highways plowed. Thanks for nothing from the City of Sedona and their two-bit mickey-mouse gerry-rigged amateur blade-scrapers attached to trucks. Really? Forget plowing roads in subdivisions which service was provided by both counties prior to Sedona’s incorporation.

    If they actually did call in Tiffany for assistance we’ll probably need another sales tax increase to pay for their services. This storm is a classic example of how inept this city is in handling above normal situations – no foresight but, of course, hindsight should be 20/20 but not in Sedona. They will learn nothing from this – same as wild fires in the summer. Just wait until miles and miles of traffic become trapped – a real disaster waiting to happen.
