A winter storm warning is in effect for the western Kenai Peninsula through Tuesday afternoon. Additional snow accumulation of 4 to 10 inches is expected.

More than 20 Kenai Peninsula schools were closed, while thousands of customers lost power under heavy snowfall. Portions of the Sterling and Seward Highways were impassible due to more than 20 inches of snow.

Many across the central peninsula were surprised to see snowy conditions outside Thursday morning. Area grocery shoppers shared their thoughts about the unexpected snowfall and their anticipations for the coming winter.

There is a lot of snow still on the Kenai Peninsula this spring. We look at three ways that's impacting locals: on roofs, roads and farms.

Ron's Rent-It Center already has a waitlist of customers who are going to get snowblowers next year. A mix of heavy snow and supply chain issues have placed snowblowers in high demand at the Kenai shop.

From Tuesday to Wednesday, communities across the peninsula can expect between eight and 11 inches of snow, as well as strong wind gusts and white-out conditions.

We’re joined by four guests on the show today to talk all things snow.

Parts of the central Kenai Peninsula have received more than 2 feet of snow this week. Today, the roofs on two Soldotna buildings collapsed due to heavy snow loads.

About 18 inches of snow were piled on the roadway at the time of the fatal crash, troopers say.

As of 11 a.m. Monday, the western coast of the Kenai Peninsula had between 20 to 25 inches of fresh snow. But it's hard to say how those totals compare with historical records.
