Snow? Really? On April 25th? Come on!

Fri, Apr 25, 2008

Anchorage got a rude surprise today.

It started off innocently enough. The white stuff melted on contact with pavement that had been warmed in recent weeks by strong sunshine and temperatures well above freezing.

But winter’s not going down without a fight. Here’s a little snow video from just outside the KSKA offices this afternoon. Maybe this will break the spell…

For the record, the snow is expected to continue through the night. The National Weather Service has issued a snow advisory and the roads are, of course, a mess. Be careful out there!
