A day of heavy snowfall Thursday in Anchorage put the city at a total of 88.8 inches for the winter, as of 3 p.m. That's a record at this point in the winter, the National Weather Service says.
Another 2 to 4 inches was expected Thursday night, followed by clear skies and cold temperatures for several days, forecasters said.

The weather service counts a snow year from July to June. From July 1 through Tuesday, Anchorage had received an official 81.3 inches of snow at the airport measuring station. Meteorologist Shaun Baines said that makes it the snowiest period for Anchorage since records have been kept.
If the pace keeps up through the last snows in either April or May, Anchorage is on track to have the snowiest winter ever, surpassing the previous record of 132.8 inches in 1954-55, Baines said.
The city of Valdez has had 322 inches of snow this season, 14 feet above their normal for this time of year. I think at this point, we'd all be happy to send some of this your way.
