Four die in record-breaking Alaska blizzard

In a span of just 48 hours, Anchorage, Alaska, experienced a snowfall exceeding two feet, shattering two daily records. On Wednesday, the city’s daily snowfall record was broken as nine inches of snow fell within 24 hours.

National Weather Service meteorologist Nicole Sprinkles reported, “The previous record for Nov. 8 was 7.3 inches of snowfall in 1982. The 8.2 inches that fell Thursday broke the record of 7.1 inches set in 1956.”

This marks only the fourth instance on record of Anchorage witnessing consecutive days with nine inches of snowfall in any month.

Certain areas of Anchorage, particularly those closer to the Chugach Mountains, documented up to 30 inches of snow.

The severe weather conditions led to power outages, school closures, and some highway shutdowns. As the United States braces for early winter weather, freeze alerts have been issued from Texas to Maine, the Daily Express reported.
