Mountain snowpack totals are a much more critical gauge than anything else, and by and large we are far behind everywhere except the south central region.
Total to date: 88.5cm (35")
Normal to date: 114.5cm (45")
We're falling further behind normal to date. We'd normally get another 9" in March, but I'm not sure how that's gonna go because the forecast for March seems pretty warm...
Just a bit (1cm) more snow during the cold blast on the night of the 28th/29th. That has melted by now though.
Dec: 15.5cm (6")
Jan: 49cm (19")
Feb: 13cm (5")
Total to date: 89.5cm (35")
Normal to date: 118.7cm (46.5")
It looks like we'll continue falling below normal to date.
In a normal year, we'd get another 29cm in March and April, but with forecasted March temperatures being overwhelmingly above freezing, I doubt we'll get much more snow.

We're falling behind considerably compared to normals now, due to a very warm & dry February and very warm March. Just got a tiny bit of snow so far this month on the 10th. But maybe with the upcoming cold we'll get a bit more.

Juneau and Anchorage snowfall battle has sort of fizzled out this month.
"Anchorage set several daily and monthly snowfall records this winter, with more than 10 feet of snow dropping on town. But it doesn’t look likely the city will break its all-time record of 134.5 inches of total snowfall for the season.
That’s according to National Weather Service climate researcher Brian Brettschneider, who joins us for our regular Ask a Climatologist segment."
OK, they're up to 281. I will stop with the reports now. Looks to have been an almost "normal" snow season for them.

Only got a bit of wet snow tonight, so no accumulation. Will March 22 have been our last snow accumulation?
There's no snow on the horizon, other than maybe a bit of non-accumulating wet snow tonight. It is possible to get accumulating snow in late April, but not particularly likely.
Normal snow season is 58.2", with 6.2" in April.
