Like I said, it snowed a little
Anchorage Daily News | Anchorage struggles with record snowfall: "At Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport, snow crews constantly plowed two runways, according to airport spokesman Mark Butler. He didn't know if the weather was to blame for an early morning collision between a taxiing Alaska Airlines MD-80 passenger plane and a taxiing EVA Airways MD-11. No one was hurt in the 3 a.m. ground collision, although both planes sustained damage." Anchorage area gets record snowfall: "Just when it looked like spring was around the corner, the Anchorage Bowl gets a serious reminder winter is not over yet. The snow accumulation has set a new record. " Snowfall pins Anchorage down: "The snow isn't just resulting in closures and delays. It's leaving people homebound, at least most people. With all this snow you would think everyone would want to stay inside, but that's not the case. Some people don't have a choice. And others just couldn't get enough of this. " Record snow causes delays and cancellations: "ïFCA"They're having a great deal of trouble de-icing aircraft," said Stevens International Airport Director Morton Plumb. "And many airlines have made the decision not to depart, therefore we are getting somewhat congested at this time." "
26 inches of at the airport means about 38 inches at my house. That's deeper than my waist high dog. 8:16:23 PM
Who cares that we're just a 5 days from the start of spring? Apparently not the weatherman. This is what I saw when I opened my front door this morning.
I love winter as much as the next guy, but a little warning might have been nice. 10:13:49 AM
