"Winter Storms Blanket Northern Arizona in Heavy Snow, Causing Chaos and Delays"

Heavy snowfall in northern Arizona shut down parts of major interstates, while low-lying clouds delayed flights in Phoenix. California experienced clear skies after days of wind, rain, and heavy snowfall, causing power outages, street flooding, and destructive mudslides. The exceptional precipitation in California led to nine storm-related deaths and more than 500 mudslides in Los Angeles. The risk of avalanches in the San Gabriel Mountains halted the search for a missing hiker, and the storms also disrupted the Phoenix Open golf tournament.
