Juneau, Alaska, has been hit by an entire season's worth of snow in just one month, causing significant challenges for both city crews and residents. With limited space for snow disposal, large snow blowers are being used to move snow to nearby glaciers, and many residents are struggling to maintain access to their properties.

The heavy, rain-soaked snow has increased the risk of sinking boats and flooding, prompting officials to urge residents to clear snow as quickly as possible. The ongoing winter weather continues to test the resilience of the Juneau community.
