A New Year’s winter storm bought record low temperatures, damaging winds and a snowstorm to the southwestern United States, blanketing the world-famous Grand Canyon. Northern Arizona received widespread snowfall totals of over four inches on New Year’s Eve and Day.

The snow has since cleared and you can see more photos of the storm and aftermath on the Grand Canyon National Park’s Flickr page.
