ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) - Schools are closed in Alaska’s largest city as heavy, wet snow piles up on streets.

The National Weather Service says a storm that began overnight continues to bring snow.

The agency says 4 to 8 inches (10 to 20 centimeters) could accumulate.



The National Weather Service says snowfall will change to showers and diminish in intensity by late morning.

A winter weather advisory remains in effect until 10 a.m. Wednesday.

The Anchorage School District sent out an advisory just after 5 a.m. that schools would be closed due to hazardous road conditions.
