Right now you wouldn't need one in town...every major street in Anchorage is bone dry thanks to the recent cold weather. Side streets are a little icy still but nothing to write home about.
I love living here; anybody who says Anchorage is "dead" or "boring" hasn't spent much time here. It's not New York or L.A., but that's half the fun of it. However, I will say that October-December is the slowest time of year around here. January-March is the best time to visit in the winter, as that's when all of the fun stuff takes place, and usually when the snow is the best.
Should be clear weather through this weekend so enjoy your time here! PM me if you have any questions.
