I haven’t tweeted in months but here’s yet another one of my neighbors struggling up our hill on a street that hasn’t been plowed since last Wednesday in the middle of Alaska’s largest city.
@5thGenAK I’m not sure why you’re assuming that’s their driveway. And whether you have sympathy isn’t my concern. That’s a municipal street that’s gone unplowed for over a week and many people in Anchorage don’t have trucks or SUVs or winter tires.
It’s Friday. It last snowed substantially on Monday. The rest of the streets in my neighborhood look the same, and there’s an elementary school two blocks away with no clear sidewalks.
What is going on here?
We’re sector 23. Entirely residential, save for a few blocks. I may be wrong but all of the other untouched sectors seem to be entirely industrial to me, and so likely have private contractors plowing (not sure about 19 and 47).
Today is our birthday and KOTZ is celebrating 5 decades on the air. Come join us for lunch if you are in Kotzebue! Thank you so much listeners and supporters for making it happen.
Spent a lovely evening in Windsor, Canada yesterday visiting family. Did not see a Canadian flag the entire visit. They apparently don’t need to constantly remind themselves what country they’re in.
We want to make a special weather SEAKers podcast episode in response to the flooding last weekend in Juneau. We'll talk with local subject matter experts but before we sit down with them, we want to know what you want to know. #akwx

School funding is so complicated in Alaska, and that discourages a lot of people from paying attention to it. Fortunately, @KatieAnastas is paying a lot of attention: https://t.co/S9BMgtNLYE
@mminjuneauak@JuneauEmpire@KTOOpubmedia All hands were on deck. We have a small staff these days, as you well know. As someone whose been in the thick of it during breaking news, I’d expect better from you. And I’m not going to sit here and let you mouth off when we both know your issue here is not with the journalism.
Juneau has issued more than 40 $6,000 grants to residents who want to build mother-in-law apartments since 2016. But officials say that doesn’t make a big enough dent in today’s construction costs. https://t.co/H3YDOxKYZK

Like me you’ve probably seen dozens of national outlets carrying footage of Juneau’s flooding and mischaracterizing what happened.
Not on Anna’s watch!!
Juneau city leaders said homeowners should take photos and save their receipts as they begin repair and cleanup work after this weekend's flooding. https://t.co/M4csqLyx20
