"Residents of towns around Prince William Sound are digging out of snowfall that drifted more than 8 feet in places and shut down the only highway in or out of Valdez, a community of about 4,000 that is not infrequently the snowiest city in the U.S.
The National Weather Service said Valdez received a record 19.2 inches of snow on Thursday, which leaves the coastal town with 252 inches (about 21 feet) so far this winter. Forecasters said Valdez residents should expect a total of some 3 feet by the time the current snowstorm ends, with limited visibility hampering drivers and pedestrians.
Of course, Valdez is used to snow. It averages about 320 inches each winter and theres lots of winter remaining. The towns record snowfall came in the winter of 1989-90, with 561 inches, or about 46 feet of snow. Amazingly, it all melted by June.
"We're calling it 'Snowpocalypse,' " said J.R. Lewis, owner of KLAM and KCDV radio stations in Cordova told the Anchorage Daily News. "We have a drift that's gotta be 8 or 9 feet high at the station and our transmitter shack is almost completely buried

Anchorage's snowfall this season is 32 inches above normal.
