Expect it to be chilly and the wind blows there all the time. With a little luck you can miss the snow. Go prepared. Flagstaff is a good staging area in case you have to wait for a break in the weather.
Oh yes, the WIND - WOW.
The folks that had flown in from California and Vegas, they were in so much pain. On Christmas day at the main visitors center, so many people in yoga pants and chic North Face wind breakers, facing a 30+ mph wind from the North in 15°F temps. I could almost feel sorry for them :)
I had heavy denim jeans on, a full length winter parka with a sweater under it, wool scarf wrapped around my face and neck, wool beanie, wool mittens, and by my side a dog that looked like he's from Game of Thrones. Oh, boots with YakTrax too. Some areas were salted, but a lot of areas had plenty of ice.
A few days later, it was in the 40s again, much nicer for walking around.
