Anchorage weather: Jan. 14-16, 2009

Stranded cars were a common sight around the city Tuesday morning, such as this one on Ingra. Anchorage streetswere glazed in ice as warm weather and rain rolled into the area late Tuesday and Wednesday morning, January 14, 2009. Driving conditions forced the closure of area schools.

From -20 degrees to high 40s in only a couple of days, the weather shift has caused havoc in Anchorage, turning roads wet, icy and very dangerous.
