Driving in a Record Snowfall | Anchorage, Alaska | 12-6-22
Anchorage had the most snowfall in less than 24 hours in over 20 years. This resulted in 18+ inches around the city.
Here's a video of us going to get some fried chicken.

I remember living there for 7 years, I miss the cold, I miss the wind, I miss the sound of the engine. You have given me a small piece of heaven back
From a Southerner’s perspective, it looks like if you built suburbia in Antarctica
A taco bell in Anchorage,I'm sold
Well look at that. People can actually drive in the snow. Lower 48, take note. No plows, no salt all over the place. It's a Christmas miracle!!

And to think 2-3 inches will shut down any city in the lower 48. O'Malley, wow, you're way down there....
I wish that we could had so much snow here in Europe, but it has become a rare sight for a couple of years now. Last time it snowed like in this video was in 2010 when we had 40" of snow in a few hours. Could you please send us some of the snow you don't need over here please? :)

Hope u guys all have good tires damm
Didn't know there was a new Seward Highway. Drove to Seward a lot but can't remember the way anymore. I guess 45 years will do it.
What's funny is you won't see hardly anyone using tire chains except the UPS, FedEx and Postal Service. It's all about the right tires. I have been using Bridgestone Blizzaks for years, but only in the winter on my Escalade.

Absolutely. I have a set of Nokian Hakkapeliittas and scored some Blizzaks in the summer for a cheap price. Both have been excellent.
Had another two feet here just north of Wasilla from last night.

I remember this crap. They didn't plow my road for like a week. People were in an uproar over this.
Me in Fairbanks on the day of this video: ahahah suckas!! Me now: ...wait 👀 😳 🥶 make it stawp
It's crazy that you cant even see the lines on the road
I take it there's no bus system in Anchorage Alaska?
My boots are better than tires at This point…. My car is covered in snow as I high-step around it, making my way to the store. 😅
Good drivers. Here in Western WA people would spin out all over the place

I lived in Louisville Kentucky back in 1996-7 and we had a 24 inch snow fall over night. So 18 inches is not that much especially in Alaska.

To be honest there was more snow fall in the season of 2011/2012 then there has been this year. People are really blowing these snow events out of perportion. Yes it is quite a bit of snow but not as dramatic as people are saying. Sincerely, a local who plows snow for a living
When cars are set up well and have the studded winter tyres on they cope well in this weather .

You don't have to shovel rain
what a difference: everybody drives, nobody is stucked in 2 inches, no test of summer tires, how dare you

Wow I never knew 18" was such a small amount of snow. Seems to me that that's not 18" of snow. Or you'd be dragging the bottom of your vehicle. Unless you have a jacked up 4 wheel drive.

Pretty much everyone up here knows how to get around in snow. And I don’t think I know a single family that doesn’t have a 4wd vehicle. Usually a truck but Subarus are very popular up here. Snowfall problems in Anchorage generally arise from our completely incompetent Mayor. Snow removal has been a total mess ever since he took office. Plus he probably needs the snow removal budget to defend the endless lawsuits he gets Anchorage messed up in. Like the newest one coming down the chute - the Mayor’s hand-picked IT Director and his former hand-picked Chief of Staff getting caught trying to falsify our elections. And our idiot Mayor “let” the IT Director resign instead of firing him and having both charged with crimes. The city is probably going to cough up millions when it’s all said and done.
OMG Global warming LOl
I would've assumed 18 inches is nothing up there. We just had 24 inches and that's not even close to a record. Good old 89402.
