…you know it’s been coming down pretty heavily. Just another reason why I’m glad I left Alaska!
All over town, people dug out Monday morning, moving 7 to 11 inches of new snow that had fallen since Sunday night. It was the sixth day in a row with significant snow, amounting to about 2 feet since Dec. 17 and more than 20 inches since Friday.
Sunday’s snowfall set a record of 5.3 inches — measured near the airport — for Dec. 21. The old record was 3.1 inches, set in 1954.

City crews had been working 24 hours a day with 58 graders, blowers and sanders since 4 a.m. Friday, Anchorage Mayor Mark Begich said Monday. Even without more snow, it would take more than a week to catch up.

yippee skippy – i’m flying into anchorage tomorrow. :P :(
glad i decided to rent the four wheel drive vehicle…!
We received another 3.5 or so (depending on which side of the city one is) yesterday. Christmas is to be clear and cold, with temperatures near the mountains (where we live) to be -10 or so. It was +2 when I got the newspaper, though.
Love
Dad
