Juneau broke its local record for snowiest March with 63.8 inches, but is only 1.2 inches away from breaking its winter snowfall record. This March also broke the previous record of 62.7 inches set in 2007. However, a data correction lag in a national database moved the goalpost further down. The National Weather Service confirmed that the actual record was set in the winter of 2006-2007 at 197.9 inches. The local forecast office has been working to correct this discrepancy with the National Centers for Environmental Information, a division of NOAA that manages the data. The correction should be reflected in the national database next month.
