Alaskan Towns cut off by Severe Snow

A number of Alaskan towns have be cut off by over 5.5. metres of snow that has fallen since November. The snow has caused some buildings to collapse and it has meant that the towns of Cordova and Nome are running out of fuel. In the first attempt of its kind a US ice breaking shipping is trying to lead a Russian tanker into the port of Nome to provide fuel for the rest of winter.
