The weekend storm came just days after a system that hit parts of Anchorage with more than 2 feet of snow, leaving schools closed as road crews worked around the clock to clear streets and sidewalks.
Crews begin clearing the heavy snowfall during the early morning hours of Dec. 12, 2022 as more snow falls during the second of two large storms to hit the Anchorage area this month.
Schools in Anchorage, the Mat-Su Borough and much of the Kenai Peninsula Borough are closed Monday, as an unusually strong winter storm continues to blanket the region with snow. Full closures for the Anchorage School District and Mat-Su Borough School District were announced overnight Sunday, with a decision on Anchorage after-school activities pending by noon. The University of Alaska Anchorage and Alaska Pacific University also closed classes due to poor road conditions.National Weather Service meteorologist Pam Szatanek said the service’s West Anchorage office received more than a foot of snow overnight, following the storm’s Sunday arrival.
“We actually got over 15 inches at the office tonight, and we broke a snow record yesterday,” she said.
