Town has received 176" of snow since November 1st.

For all we know, one of those cards might have skidded a 180. That road is definitely designed for two lanes moving in the same direction, as evidenced by the lane markers.

that would also explain why the cars at the top seem to be stopped and pulled as far over to the side as they can.

Nah, Six, I agree. traffic looks like it's going in the wrong directions. In the top 1/3 of the picture, you clearly have a car traveling in the left lane going in the wrong direction for US driving...and also in the bottom, just below the halfway point in the pic.

Either that isn't US traffic, or SOMEONE is awfully fucked up...

Then why don't you explain what those white markers are for? Do you think Alaska has different road markers than the rest of the US?

It's not Alaska.

Everything looks stopped in a picture. 😛

yes.

but look at the top. t here are like 8 cars within feet of each other. i doubt they are driving ON that road in that snow that close.

Where is it?

Friend of mine in Anchorage posted this on Facebook. It's Richardson Highway on the way to Valdez, AK, as of last week.

Keep it at 15F for the next 3 months no wind, drop me 16~ inches of snow.

Where is it?

Read upwards, and you'll see where I say it's a very old image. Ergo, not a picture of Alaska last week.

It's not North America, it's probably Northern Europe. Where, for those who haven't figured it out yet, white dashes are a common feature to divide two lane opposing direction roads, and yellow lines are used for construction areas or no parking zones.

Definitely not Alaska. That picture is clearly from somewhere in Europe.

You mean first snowfall on Long Island - and didn't you guys get snow in that late October storm (or was it November?) We've had snow on this side of the state numerous times, though not as much as in the past.

yes, and yes we got wet snowfall in October for maybe an hour, which didn't stick at all... doesn't count. 😉

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Road_surface_marking

Japan uses a scheme similar in some ways to North American markings, but with some differences. White always separates traffic in the same direction or indicates traffic in the same direction can use a buffered area that is striped in crosshatch patterns such as at right turns on two-way roads since Japan is a country that has left-side driving.

We have had no snow at all this winter. At this time last year we still had 30" of snow on the ground and were continually getting snow. A typical year would see us getting a few feet, then it melts away, then we get a few feet and it melts away.

I'm rather certain that image predates that entry, and there are plenty of other sites that claim that same image as being a different location.
