Anchorage continues to dig out from a snowfall that set a record for the day and the month.The National Weather Service says 17.2 inches fell at its office just south of Anchorage's international airport and 22 inches fell in northeast Anchorage on Friday and Saturday.

The heaviest snow fell between 3 and 6 p.m. Friday at a rate of almost two inches per hour.

The monthly total at the weather service office is now 29.7 inches, breaking a record from 1963 when 27.6 inches fell during April.

The song is cute, but irrelevant. The difference between Anchorage and Barrow is greater than the difference between Miami and Buffalo.

Yes the song is cute. The song takes place in Fairbanks not Point Barrow.

I think it would be wise to be highly sceptical of data from an organization that has a transparent fiscal incentive to manufacture data to prop up a political PR line.

I'm am highly sceptical, that's why I'm pointing to this site.

I would like to see the data from Alabama.

Very first line of the song refers to Barrow; that’s all I meant. Fairbanks is still nothing at all like Anchorage.
