Ketchikan residents woke up this weekend to find their homes, cars and roads covered in as many as 20 inches of heavy, wet snow. They weren’t alone: communities across Southeast felt the impact of a late winter storm.
Ketchikan doesn’t often see nearly 2 feet of snow in a day, especially not this late in the year. The storm knocked out power in the early morning hours Saturday.
