Valdez averages over 300 inches of snow every year on the southern coast of Alaska, due to its location near a nearly-constant source of moisture during the winter months. However, the temperature is often near freezing when it snows, and it does rain in the winter as well. In other words, it is not terribly cold considering it's in Alaska.

Usually, yes. Sometimes in the summer it gets warm enough to melt some of the snow away in some of the cities.


How does Alaska deal with snow?

Alaska deals with snow quite well, thank you. Mainly by leaving it alone. If it is in the way (blocking a door, on the steps) it gets shoveled off. Major roads get plowed, side roads- it gets packed down and stays there. For most of the winter it is too cold for snow to melt, even with salt added to it. You learn to drive on snow, and sometimes use snow mobiles, skis or snowshoes.
