Just when all the snow had melted, it started to snow...and hasn't stopped yet! It's been snowing non-stop since about 10:00 this morning. Even for Anchorage standards this is a lot of snow. They've canceled school events and the heart run that's tomorrow. All the tree branches are weighed down.
It snowed between 15.5 and 22 inches around town. We got around 16 inches (when we took Banjo for a walk we talked to this lady who measured in her backyard - it was coming down at 2 inches an hour at one point). It was the biggest single-day snowfall after April 1st ever, and was the third biggest single day snowfall EVER. It was pretty cool to walk around in, and we were even able to cross-country ski around the dog park with Banjo on Sunday morning.

yikes! that's a whole lotta snow. i was shocked to hear MN got a "light dusting" this late in the year. i guess alaska is a bit different climate than MN. hope you get spring soon!
And to think I was surprised last weekend when we got a little bit of snow in Seattle! We broke a record, you know. But 16 inches! At least maybe you'll get a little more use out of your snow shoes or cross country skies!
