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.

That there global warming is a sumbich.
Fun times, we had no problem clearing and getting where we had to be. Many weren’t prepared, but that’s typical of any weather event. You can’t fix stupid.
I’m enjoying Florida in my old age.
This is why they make 4 wheel drive and snow tires.
I am in Fairbanks. I know people and have family in A-town. So, not really. I’ve seen videos and all that. It’s been crappy.
But you’re saying that the solid conservative mayor should resign over a bad job because of a huge amount of snowfall, that is near or at a record level.
That don’t make no sense.
