Snowstorm Aftermath - Part I - January 6, 2012 - Cordova, Alaska

Part I of a series, published on January 7, documenting the troubles of one small, coastal Alaskan town, Cordova. To view Part II, published on January 11, visit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWkkGnVcSfY Cordova has had a rough winter thus far, and today the Mayor officially declared the excessive snow load an emergency situation following the January 5, 2012 "Snowpocalypse". This small coastal Alaskan community does not have the resources necessary to keep on top of the massive amount of snow that has fallen since December 17, 2011....and that is continuing to fall. Despite this, everyone is working together. Shoveling, shoveling, shoveling - everybody's shoveling. Cordova is a pretty special community, and when faced with disaster locals work together to overcome the situation. I'm proud to call Cordova home! According to CEC, 175 inches fell from November 1 - January 6. (14.5 feet!)
