Fairbanks, Alaska already looks like a winter wonderland thanks to the massive amount of powder that blanketed the city just days into fall.
Massive amount of snow recorded
Fall’s arrival may have been greeted with a collective warm shrug of the shoulders in the Lower 48 states, but Alaskans have already broken out winter coats.
Officially, 6.7 inches of snow blanketed the city of Fairbanks Friday, turning the city into a winter wonderland just days into fall.
Not only was this the city’s first measurable snow of the season, but this was the city’s third heaviest calendar-day September snow on record, topped only by Sep. 13, 1992 (7.8 inches) and Sep. 29, 1972 (7 inches).
