Flagstaff Sees First Snowfall of Season

Recent snowfall across Arizona's high country has delighted locals and tourists alike, marking a significant seasonal shift after a record-hot start to fall. Families flocked to the mountains, with many experiencing snow for the first time, creating a winter wonderland ambiance amid the fall colors. The Arizona Snowbowl reported over a foot of snow, surprising visitors who expected only desert landscapes. Meanwhile, temperatures in the valley are expected to warm up again soon, but the recent cooldown has encouraged families to visit local farms, which have seen a surge in crowds. Owners of Mother Nature's Farm noted that the heat had previously slowed attendance, but the change in weather has revitalized fall festivities. As the ski lifts prepare to open on November 22, the region anticipates a busy winter season ahead.
