I don't live there (have lived near there and been there many times), but Flagstaff, AZ has one of the most reliable climate records in the SW US going back to the 1800s. The area also has 75 continuous years of high reliability mountain snowfall data. The 75 year average snowfall for Flagstaff is 93.5 inches (2.38m), 7th or 8th in the USA above 50k population. The 75 year average number of days with a minimum low below 32F (0C), is 206 days. Areas marked in red in pic related have similar or higher equivalent stats. AZ's first (US) capital was officially designated in 1863-1864, in the Prescott area but Americans were settling the region 40+ years earlier.
