If you're in the parts of the United States still looking for the first big snow of the season, Alaska would most likely be happy to send you some.
Valdez, Alaska, usually the snowiest places in the United States and often on top of the list globally, has received as much snow this winter though last weekend as it normally receives over the course of an entire season. So far, it's received more than 322 inches, and the snow has been piled up high, with 10-foot drifts lining the roads, for example.
The problem, though, isn't the streets, which have been thoroughly scraped to bare pavement, mostly. The problem is roofs. Already several have caved in and the local school district, for the first time in memory, had to cancel classes until laborers could clear the feet of snow piled on the roof.
