So how snowy was Anchorage this week? Brian Brettschneider, with the weather service, says the city on Tuesday recorded its fifth-highest December single-day snowfall. “The only ones that were larger were actually consecutive days in 1955,” he said.

Meteorologist Michael Kutz said the snowfall began on Monday. The remnants of a low pressure system coming up from the Gulf of Alaska dropped a little under 2 inches of snow. “Believe it or not, it didn’t even break the top 10,” Kutz laughed, adding it wasn’t the largest single-day snowfall, “even for December.”There are a lot of ways to split the data.
The recent snowstorm as a whole in Anchorage is the biggest in December since the late ‘90s. Brettschneider said while December tends to be the month with the highest total snowfall, the highest single-day counts tend to happen at the start or the end of the winter season. Department of Transportation spokesman Justin Shelby said crews worked on Wednesday to clear snow off several main roads in Anchorage, including Minnesota Drive as well as the Glenn Highway up to the Knik River and the Seward Highway down to Girdwood.
