One more concern I have: the snowfall in Flagstaff. I used to live
in Spokane, Washington, and an average snowfall in 24 hours, in the height
of winter, is about 4-6 inches. What is the daily winter snowfall like
in Flagstaff? Is it a matter of a few inches or a few feet? Again, thank
you for your help!

It's usually a few inches but has snowed a few feet on plenty of
occasions.
Arizona has been in a drought for almost the past
decade, so prior to this year precipitation has been much lighter than
usual. However, within the last year, we have had so much rain and snow
that it would hopefully signal the end of this drought.
This
past winter, Flagstaff had more snow than I had seen there in awhile.
The last time I was there, July 30th of this year, there was still snow
on Humphrey's Peak (the tallest point in Arizona| Arizona | (air-i'-ZON-u') | The State of Arizona comprises the extreme south-western portion of the United States. It is bounded on the north by Utah, on the east by New Mexico, on the south by Mexico, and on the west by California and Nevada. |
sitting at 12,633 feet).

I lived in Flagstaff for two years. The first winter I was there,
we had only a little snow - less than what you'd get in Spokane. However,
last winter was a different story. We had about 3 feet just after New
Years. It melts fast though.
I'm from Canada and found Flagstaff
to have alot milder weather than your area or mine.

I
guess that depends on where in Flagstaff you're referring to. I was there
this past July and there was still snow on Humphrey's Peak :-).
