    the problem here is transplants, and just not enough priority given to removing it from the roads...
    At least when I lived there, Anchorage had equipment, personnel and plan to plow streets like every 2-4 hours around the clock... and they don't even get the same amount of snow as say Valdez...(which gets 35-40 FEET every winter)

    I even was a delivery driver in Anchorage with a 2wd import pickup (with studded snows & 800# of lead bars in the bed)... you didn't need 4wd unless you were going up hillside- they did a good job of keeping accumulation down.

    The thing that's starting to get to me is the idiots that think a peek-a-boo hole on the windshield means your okay to drive and have proper visibility.
    Almost got nailed twice this week by people driving with improperly cleaned windshields.
    Isn't there a traffic law about driving with an obstructed windshield ?

    Woke up to a foot of new snow. This isn't funny anymore

    -I was really starting to like that global-climate-warming-change-whatever that we were having the first part of the month with highs near 70* everyday...

    That's crazy talk! The town I grew up in averages around 90" a year. In 2014, they got 134" and so far in 2015 they have 61". Having twice that would be pretty wild!

    Really, the worst part about this snow thing, for us construction-type guys, is rearranging your gastrointestinal functionary schedule so we don't freeze our butts on snow drifts in the port-a-potty.

    Yeah, that sounds like a literal pain in the arse.
