Yes, the city's official measuring station has recorded later snowfalls — but none that come in at an inch or more.
A dusting of late-season snow overnight Wednesday left Anchorage an inch closer to its all-time snow record — but meteorologists don’t expect it to be broken.
The snow, he said, was part of a weather system expected to bring mixed snow and rain to the region this week. Kutz said that it’s not uncommon for Anchorage to see sporadic snowfall in May, and that Thursday’s snow is not the latest ever recorded in the season. It does mark the latest date on which Alaska’s largest city has received an inch or more of snow, breaking the previous record set on May 6, 1955.
