 Hope We've Made Enough Space for the Next Snow! When I turned on the Blackberry this a.m., there was the bright-red "Winter Storm Warning" from the Weather Channel. Flagstaff could see another 3 to 7 inches of snow from storm starting today and ending Thursday, according the the Arizona Daily Sun this a.m.
We've just barely finished digging out! (See the picture at dawn this a.m., with our neighbors' home in the background). I'm not complaining because we suffered no major damage and we have, in fact, been out. As the accompanying article in the Daily Sun explains, many of Flagstaff's neighbors on the Navajo and Hopi Reservations are trapped behind snow and mud-packed roads without food or potable water.
The city of Flagstaff and Coconino County are asking homeowners and business owners to report storm-related damage this week in order to apply for a federal emergency aid. They are requesting: the name of the owner, address, whether the property is residential or commercial, whether a home is primary or secondary, a description of the damage, whether it is insured, ballpark cost estimate on repairs, and any impact to business, such as closure or loss of income. In Flagstaff, the number to call is 928-213-2399. For nonurban areas of Coconino County, it's 928-679-7144, according to the Arizona Daily Sun.
