Alaska town digging its way out after record 18 feet of snow
Snow in Alaska doesn't usually make big headlines, but even The Last Frontier has extremes.
Cordova, an isolated coastal town of about 2,000 people about 150
miles east of Anchorage, appears to be one of the hardest-hit locales,
with the state National Guard reporting that it was sending Guardsmen
and resources Monday after weeks of record snowfall left the city
buried under 18 feet of the white stuff.The state activated its State Emergency Operations Center on Friday to help Cordova handle the snow. The town had issued a disaster declaration earlier in the day.
