Extreme blizzard conditions drop record amount of snow and ice across Alaska and Yukon, Canada
Blizzard-like conditions, record volumes of snow and ice started accumulating Sunday and Monday across Alaska and NW Canada, blocking roads, knocking down power for thousands and forcing school and businesses’ closures.
The extreme cold temperatures are due to a frigid Arctic air moving farther south than expected.
Alaska
“It seems like a perfect storm,” said Alaska Electric Light and Power’s Debbie Driscoll. “We had a lot of snow and also a lot of heavy ice.“
On Nov. 1, Juneau Airport broke a record when it got 7.6 inches of snow (old best mark: 6.6 inches).
Definitely
the closest thing I can recall to an ice storm in Juneau. A heck of a
1-2 punch for our trees when you add in the heavy snow on top of the
ice. pic.twitter.com/ElMhYt7yJX
