WARNING, DISTRESSING CONTENT: A US city has become so cold that everything in sight is becoming frozen or covered in snow with locals claiming it’s all ‘too much’
A US city has seen temperatures plunge so sharply that fuel is thickening, roofs are collapsing and its homeless have been left frozen solid.
A big chill has swept across Alaska, with its state capital experiencing some of its coldest spells in years. Anchorage has been plagued by a cold snap, chilling its population just shy of 300,000 to the core, leaving residents claiming it’s “too much” to bare.
Anchorage has been setting new records, with snowfall in parts of the city surpassing 100-inches this week – the quickest it has ever reached that milestone in a calendar year. Temperatures have plummeted to lows surpassing minus 40C this year already.
From snow storms to heatwaves, catch the latest weather news here.
Homeless people in the state are facing a crisis and if they can’t locate a warming centre, Anchorage is simply uninhabitable. Kevin Dahlgren, founder of Truth on the Streets, visited the city and came across a harrowing sight.
“There is a person under there,” he wrote on X/Twitter on Tuesday, claiming that a homeless person had died due to the bitter conditions. “The blanket was near frozen solid. A block away was a coroner picking up a body. We must do better.”
