The clash between cold air and a storm system over southern Alaska was enough to produce heavy snow in parts of The Last Frontier that led to some longtime records falling. More than 10 inches of snow fell on Tuesday in Anchorage, making it the snowiest December day since 1999. The heavy snow caused dozens of crashes and led to school districts canceling classes. Video taken in Anchorage Wednesday showed streets covered in more than a foot of snow and treacherous travel on city streets. The National Weather Service office in Anchorage reported an overall snow depth of 17" thanks to previous powder on the ground before the most recent storm system pushed through the region.
