Over a foot of snow blanketed Southcentral Alaska overnight and continued to accumulate through Tuesday morning.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Over a foot of snow blanketed Southcentral Alaska overnight and through Tuesday morning. Anchorage hasn’t seen this much snow on Dec. 6 since 1999 – over 20 years ago. But waking up early to shovel driveways was a harsh reality for residents of the Anchorage Bowl.“The Municipality of Anchorage has experienced a significant snow fall within the past 24 hours. The National Weather Service measured 9″ near the airport, and 11″ on the lower hillside as of early this afternoon.
“Night shift crews will continue their operations this evening, starting with downtown clearing and snow hauling operations. Our goal is to have downtown fully cleared by Friday morning.”“We are asking residents to be patient, limit road travel and parking on streets, when possible, to give plow crews the ability to efficiently execute this large-scale plow out.”
