PHOENIX -- A spring storm dumped snow in northern Arizona and brought rain and wind to the Valley on Saturday, uprooting trees and leaving thousands without power.
The National Weather Service said Flagstaff received about 5 inches of snow.
"This is great because I was in 90-degree weather in Tucson," Lupe Juvera said as she scraped snow off her car with a newspaper.
Flagstaff residents welcomed the April snow showers following the dry winter.
"The weather's awesome today. It's a good change," resident Alicia Bruchman said. "We had a really, really dry winter so it's fun to have winter in April. By tomorrow it'll be sunny and warm again, and this is the best kind of snow when it doesn't stay."
In Phoenix, wind gusts reached more than 50 mph.
