JUNEAU -- While most of the state will remember January for extreme cold temperatures, Juneau can look back on the month for record snowfall.
The National Weather Service says the city's airport recorded 75.2 inches of snow last month, breaking a 20-year-old mark of 69.2 inches for January.
Most of that snow arrived in the first 11 days of the year.
The weather service says January's snowfall was 46.2 inches above the monthly norm.
So far, during the 2008-2009 winter season, Juneau has received 116.43 inches of snow. That's still a far cry from the 200 inches the city received two years ago.
The city also received 9.3 inches of rain to melt much of the snow and cause periodic flooding at major road intersections.
