In 1954 the snow did what it always did best, it fell, fell to 132.6 inches during the cold winter season. Making a record that would last 57 years, but on April 7th 2012 the snow fell four inches in a single day to beat the half century old legend of a snowfall. The last snow for the season of 2012, four inches pushed through to break the ice and land 133.8 inches of crisp-white snow on the streets of Anchorage, Alaska. More than 11 feet of this luscious seasonal delight landed within seven months of cold-crisp air. Making a break and an added height to the piles of cold cotton-like snow by 1.2 inches. So many people thought this feat was impossible when it did not snow until the end of October and making this new venture off to a late start. This season of snow and ice lasted shorter than usual. The first snowfall on average landed in early September and lasted until late April, but on average the snow only falls to 74.6 inches in a season. “It was cool to see the last snowfall and beat the record, but I just wanted to snow to go away,”said junior Aubrey Rhodes. As the shimmering snow melted it strived for one last adventure, on April 7th and what an adventure it was, the winter past and yet the snow continued to fall. The sun beamed down with temperatures in the higher 30s, making the feat hard to believe after a week of sunglasses and shorts. Not weeks ago, teachers and and students at Dimond High were thriving in the snow, while secretly wishing for it to be gone. “With how much it snowed, I don’t think it will be finished melting until late in May,” said Rebecca Norsworthy, an english teacher of Dimond. Soon after this was said, the sun rose again with a longer and hotter gaise on the old snow. This may not go just as Norsworthy has expected, with the snow is over half done meting in the spring air, The long awaited break-up season has arrived. “It was almost expected by most, it happens almost every year, snow melting and all,” said sophomore Taylor Sebring. But did Taylor expect the snow to last so long, so late in the season? As the legend grows of this new record many from other states shunn the excitement following the news on websites, “In Missouri, we get that much snow in the month of January alone,” said an anonymous source. In response a dimond student colorfulbabe64 said, “Tell me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t water freeze at zero degrees and snow falls at 32? So if Anchorage is colder than zero most of the winter then how are we to snow? Its nice that you guys get that much snow, but wasn’t your coldest winter only 20 below in a city a two day drive from you? Well in January of 1989 it reached 80 below in Fairbanks, not more than an eight hour drive from Anchorage.” So how large really was our feat? We will never know until the snow falls next season to even come close or break this new record. Close to a dozen feet of snow, a one of a kind legend of Alaska, The Last Frontier.
