Colder temperatures across Anchorage caused hoarfrost to build up on trees across the area on Monday, November 20, 2023.

Wednesday on Alaska News Nightly

Behind Anchorage's 45 outdoor deaths last year are commonalities, as well as personal stories. Plus, avalanche danger in Juneau forced the city's emergency warming shelter to move three times in two days. And, students in Anchorage new to the US are stepping out of their comfort zone and onto a pair of skis.

Reports tonight from:

Liz Ruskin in Washington D.C.
Evan Erickson in Bethel
Tim Ellis in Delta Junction
Yvonne Krumrey in Juneau
Taylor Heckart in Petersburg
Patrick Gilchrist in Fairbanks
Hannah Flor in Anchorage
