Snow Stats

Here are the official stats on yesterday's late winter snow storm. 15.5" of snow fell at the National Weather Service office on Sand Lake Road. That makes April 25, 2008 (from midnight to midnight) the third snowiest day on record. Records have been kept since 1915. The monthly snowfall to date for April 2008 is 29.7 inches which is more than any other April on record. The seasonal snowfall total is 109.1 inches making the winter of 2007-2008 the 6th snowiest for Anchorage--and we may not be done yet, so we might move up in the rankings. How cool is that?!

PS The big storm didn't shut down the airport. Anchorage knows how to handle snow. Matt flew out last night for a week in Las Vegas.
