ANCHORAGE, Alaska – Alaska’s largest city declared a snow emergency last week after a winter storm dropped record snowfall amounts, and with more snow falling this week, Anchorage is now less than an inch away from achieving its snowiest November on record.
Anchorage broke a daily snowfall record last Wednesday when 9 inches of snow fell in 24 hours. An additional 8.2 inches piled up the following day, setting another daily record. Another 3.6 inches fell on Friday, bringing the winter storm's three-day total to 20.8 inches between Nov. 8 and Nov. 10.
Alaska was hit with another snowstorm earlier this week when 8.7 inches of fresh snow piled up in Anchorage on Monday, breaking the daily record for Nov. 13. That was preceded by 0.2 inches on Sunday, resulting in a storm total of 8.9 inches.
That means Anchorage has received 29.7 inches of snow in the past week alone.
As you can see, it's been a busy November in terms of snowfall in Anchorage – and we're just two weeks into the month.
According to the National Weather Service, the average snowfall for Anchorage between Nov. 1 and Nov. 14 is 5 inches. That average is based on records from 1991-2020.
Through Tuesday, Anchorage recorded 37.9 inches since the first day of the month, meaning the city's November total is now 32.9 inches above average for this point in the month.

It’s not the snow or even the amount of snow, it is the absolute failure of the Mayor of Anchorage. Obviously, it snows in Anchorage, and sometimes a lot. A big part of his job in the winter is to keep the city moving and safe even when it snows. It has never been like this. He needs to resign.

Halloween night 1991....31 inches
Anchorage, Alaska, recorded its all-time record daily snowfall on St. Patrick’s Day in 2002. Snow began late on March 16 and continued into March 17 with snow falling at a rate of more than 2 inches an hour at times.

36 inch’s. Made driving to work a bit sporty. My Sidekick did just fine.
Cold weather is proof that the Earth is suffering from man-made warming.

If this earth gets any hotter we are all going to freeze to death.
Climate change isn’t the issue.
It is all the idiots we have to live with, that vote, but have no sense of critical thinking, eg. Democrats and their RINO enablers.
I dislike snow very much. It doesn’t snow in my area as much as it used to when I was a kid. And I’m OK with that.
Seriously? Come on man.
The Climutt Chains fools will just say, that it means more extreme weather events…
They constantly twist and bend the rules, meanings, goalposts; to suit their climate cult idiocy.
