Kotzebue experienced one blizzard after another in March, and now with so much piled up and drifted snow, the community is struggling to dig out.
"I was born and raised in Kotzebue and have been through many storms. This was one of the worst."
The ice outside of Kotzebue in the sound and further out into the Bering Sea is more like May Ice then March ice.
In addition to blizzard conditions, Kotzebue residents have been experiencing power outages, water service interruptions and travel complications because of the storms.
It has been some years since we have had a long storm. March 6 marks the 3rd day and there have been no jets or small planes flying.
