FLAGSTAFF, Ariz.—A winter storm dumped record-breaking amounts of snow in Arizona and forced the closure of roads, schools and government offices across the Southwest on Feb. 22.
The storm was pushing through eastern Arizona and heading for New Mexico and Texas after dumping nearly 3 feet of snow Thursday at the Flagstaff airport during the city’s snowiest day on record, and more than 2 feet in Payson, a town that logs that much snow as its yearly average.
