"Record-breaking Snowfall Closes Schools and Sets Seasonal Records in Anchorage"

Anchorage, Alaska is experiencing a record-breaking snowfall, with over 8.5 feet of snow already fallen and the earliest arrival of 100 inches in its history. The heavy snow has caused roofs on commercial buildings to collapse, prompting officials to urge residents to clear snow from their homes. Despite the challenges, some residents have found ways to have fun with the snow, including building a 20-foot-tall snowman. The city is on track to break its all-time snowfall record, and bitter cold temperatures are expected to return later in the week.
