Juneau’s airport had 36 inches of snowpack last Wednesday, “down to a trace” on Monday morning.
Residents of Alaska’s capital were digging out Wednesday after back-to-back winter storms brought the city’s snowfall totals for the month to near-record levels, leaving some parked cars buried with just side-view mirrors or windshield wipers poking out of the white stuff. The record for January was set in 2009 at 75.2 inches (191 centimeters), said Nathan Compton, a National Weather Service meteorologist. The road, which runs past Dave Harris' home, was closed Wednesday, and crackling could be heard on nearby Mount Juneau.
Meanwhile, up in Anchorage, a homeowner built a three-tiered snowman over 20 feet tall, dubbed Snowzilla.
