Flakes were flying since Friday, which added up to the 5.6 inches on the ground first thing in the morning.

The 4.3 inches of snow fell after midnight, which will officially go down in the record books for May 9, 2015 as the highest snowfall total for the day.

It shattered the old record held by the year 1922 with 0.5 inches of snow.

All of that powder in Flagstaff also makes it the 15th snowiest day on record for the month of May.

It isn't rare for snow to fall in May, but this amount of snow this late in the year is pretty impressive.

Snow was thumping during the night in Mountainaire too, five inches of snow covered the ground there while four inches piled up to the west of Prescott.
