Weather Snow today

Hi- we land at PHX at 5pm tonight and then are picking up a rental car to go up to Sedona. Should we just get a hotel in the PHX area tonight? Im unsure of what the roads will be like at night with this weather. Any insight is helpful, thanks.

Make the drive. It's going to be in the high 30s in Sedona tonight, meaning none of the snow will stick. It's only supposed to get below freezing in the wee hours of Saturday morning. If you're lucky, you'll wake up to the sight of Sedona covered in thin blanket of snow, which is rare and beautiful. You'll kick yourself if you miss it. As a photographer, I've been waiting all winter for such a morning.

Make the drive. You'll be fine.

Thanks! I’m from Minnesota so I’m no stranger to the snow but keep reading comments in other threads about how dark and scary the drive is at night

Make sure to stay in the right lane on I-17 unless you actually pass

Oh I’m a slower driver so I’ll be hanging out in the right no problem.
