We've just received a report from a reader that the highways near Flagstaff are treacherous and icy. It was reported that there are several accidents between Williams and Flagstaff.
If possible, don't go north, but if you can't avoid travel to Flagstaff, drive cautiously and safely, and make sure you're prepared for emergencies.
You can check out the roads in advance, too, go to http://www.az511.com/adot/files/traffic/ to see the current conditions.
Be safe!

Oh, and about the game? The D'Backs won, with a final score of 5-4. You can watch the recap here:
Here are Coach Gibson's comments.
Congrats to both Drew and the D'Backs!
Fundraising car washes are rather frequent occurrences here in the tri-city area. It's a fast way to raise a decent amount of money, doesn't take an inordinate amount of organization effort and can be done by folks of all ages.
So, it won't be a surprise when we mention that there's another car wash on Friday, April 6, from 9:30 - 3:30 pm. It'll be held at Taco Bell in Frontier Village.
This one is to help raise money for Northpoint students that are going to Central America this spring for nearly three weeks. Part of their trip will be spent in Suchitoto, El Salvador, which is one of Prescott's Sister Cities.
And, besides, your car can use a bath, right? The $5-$7 suggested donation costs less than taking it to a drive-thru automated carwash, and it's for a great cause.
In the article, "Who Holds the Title for Yavapai Downs Property?" we broke the story of the Assessor's concern about the upcoming auction. Without proper legal descriptions, the Warranty Deed and Deed of Trust are in question.
Well, we have an update for you. George Cunningham, who is the agent auctioning off the property, called and said that he was unaware of the situation until he received Pearsall's letter, and he would give immediate attention to the matter.
