episode_narrativeAfter 3 months of drought, snows finally came...followed by avalanches and then flooding. A record one week snow dumped 132.9 inches on the city of Valdez. Next, avalanches cut off the Richardson Highway for most of the weekend while another avalanche swept over a local home. When temperatures soared into the upper 30s Saturday, city streets began to flood. The Public Works Department spent $30,000.00 in overtime during this week - about half the total overtime budget for the season.
