This latest winter storm to hit Arizona has had massive impacts. Arizona residents and first responder agencies from all over are reporting "enormous" amounts of snow, major highways being closed, damaging winds knocking down trees and signs, and thousands being without power.

In Flagstaff, people have been dealing with yet another round of snow that have buried cars, shut down highways and caused schools and businesses to close.

Widespread and extremely heavy snow fell during the afternoon hours and into the nighttime hours.

Snow drifts in town stood over six feet tall, and crews are still working to clear it.

With the winter weather also means dangerous road conditions. The conditions so bad, truck routes and even some anniversary plans were canceled.

"With the snow on the ground, it’s really hard to see," said one truck driver, identified only as ‘Tim.’ "I was only doing, like, 20 miles an hour coming down."

Tim was among the lucky ones, as he made it into Flagstaff before the storm hit.

"I went up about two o’clock this morning. It didn’t start doing anything until I hit Munds Park. Started to snow going up north, and on the way back, it was just impossible to see. It was very bad," said Tim.

Another truck driver, identified only as ‘Tony,’ wasn't as lucky. He didn't make it into Flagstaff.

"It was whiteout," said Tony. "As soon as you start pulling into Stoneman and I went up to 315 and turned around and came back. You couldn’t see the road, and I was done."

Tony, who drives the route on a daily basis, says the conditions were some of the worst he has seen.

"You’re sliding around, and there’s a lot of wind, so you don’t want to get blown off of the road," said Tony.

The storm has also disrupted travel plans for Lupe and Elena Hernandez. They are visiting Arizona from Texas for their 24th anniversary. The two are visiting Arizona for the first time, and had plans to spend the day at the Grand Canyon.

"Looking at the weather coming in and driving up there, we didn’t want to take the chance, so we just canceled it. Instead of going up there, we’ll just go home early," said Luipe.
