    Sedona AZ (March 22, 2012) – Removing 12 inches of snow from 30 individual steps is no easy task in any State of the Union. However, we in Sedona had some special challenges this week. Monday morning a local shopkeeper was diligently pushing the snow off each one of her steps with her feet when she heard giggling from behind her. It was at that moment she realized that with every push of snow, she had been letting out a little ‘bad word’. Luckily, the gigglers were visiting from Michigan – near world-class professionals at snow removal. The shopkeeper apologized for her spicy language, and the Michigan crowd simply smiled and answered in unison, “Hey, we’ve been there”.

    The Michigan crowd also added that it seemed no one in Sedona had a snow shovel, or least they had not seen one yet in their travels through the ankle-high white powder around town. And they may be correct indeed. Monday we saw Sedonans removing snow with: their boots, their shoes, their bare hands and arms, pieces of wood, fallen tree branches, indoor brooms and indoor dustpans, pieces of cardboard, and spatulas of all kinds. Yet the most creative but possibly most dangerous method was exampled by another shopkeeper, who ran an extension cord outside and melted the snow in front of his shop with a space heater.

    Hey, snow is bad for business. And out here in the wilds of Arizona, it is survival of the fittest, or perhaps simply survival of the most creative.

      Great photo and cute little story. Sorry to hear it’s bad for business. Has it melted off yet?


    City Council Weighs ATV Ban Ordinance Proposal
    By Tommy Acosta
    The Sedona City Council at its May 23, 2023 meeting took no action on a proposed ordinance that would ban all off-road vehicles from being driven on state-owned public roads or streets owned by the city. The ordinance, spearheaded by Sedona Mayor Scott Jablow on the premise that such vehicles pose a risk to the health, safety and welfare of the community, would impose heavy fines to anyone driving the ATVs or OHVs on city streets, including S.R. 179 and S.R. 89A. ATV rental companies have admitted that such vehicles are not intended or designed to be driven on paved roads, yet, in Arizona, they are allowed to do so under Arizona Revised Statute 28-1174 (4B). Opponents against the ordinance argued at the meeting that if adopted the ban would cripple the ATV rental industry in Sedona and cause much hardship to the owners and employees, as it would effectively, as written, destroy their livelihood.
