As the snowstorm moves into the Anchorage area, it’s creating dangerous driving conditions on roadways across the city.
According to Paul Vanlandingham, the street maintenance manager with the Municipality of Anchorage, municipal crews continue to plow residential areas and are working on Priority 2 sidewalks.
Chief Meteorologist Melissa Frey breaks down snow and rain totals and winds expected for Southcentral Alaska.Vanlandingham said he is expecting 4-8 inches of snow in town by Wednesday night. If that happens, they will suspend residential plow-outs and start plowing collector and arterial streets again. He described the snow as “wet and heavy,” creating slick conditions for the next couple of days.
Vanlandingham hopes they can stay in residential areas until midnight, but it depends on the amount of future snowfall. “Right now, we’ve got crews out on the roads throughout the Anchorage area just keeping the main roads open as we’ve got the snow coming up,” Shelby said.
