After today's weather, I declare this fake news.

Nice photo! 1955-56 had some deep snow depths in Anchorage...

Yes, this is grim. Not good to be tied with the 2015-16 snow depth. [Side note: there appears to be a gremlin in the ACIS system that ate the Nov 2023 data.]

This reminds me of the snowmachine in this short film from 1968. The film was made for a German TV show that chronicled life of average Americans (this particular episode featured my uncle). The snowmachine appears early in the clip, at time 2:40:
