Storm Left Only a Few Inches of Snow

Observation: The snow storm earlier today was quick, heavy, and over by 10am. After lasting about 2 hours, we only got 4-5 inches of snow out here at Hunter Creek, by the Knik Glacier. Thought we'd get more, but the storm passed through fast.

LEO says: This is one of the posts received as a request for situation updates about the winter storm that struck Alaska in late December. The posts have been compiled in the Project which is attached to this observation. There are currently a total of seven observations about the storm from communities in Southcentral Alaska and Western Alaska.
