Aleutians East Borough, AK Roof Snow Load - Case Study Area
Aleutians East Borough, AK: no map figure, on purpose
Aleutians East Borough sits in the mountain-west terrain where ASCE 7-22 §7.2 itself declines to give a contour figure - elevation changes too fast over short distances there for one number per county to mean anything. The code requires a site-specific study for a building here, not a look-up.
Aleutians East Borough, FIPS 02013, is home to 3,632 people - one of 386 US counties ASCE 7 itself routes around a map figure for.

How much it actually snows in Aleutians East Borough
Most winters bring Aleutians East Borough roughly 67.3 in. of snow - NOAA's normal at COLD BAY AP, AK US, 29 mi off. That station is far enough away (29 mi) that local snowfall - especially at a different elevation or near a lake - can run noticeably higher or lower than this figure. (fresh vs. packed vs. ice explains why.)
Read this before you rely on it
Aleutians East Borough's number above is ASCE 7-22's default case, not a custom calculation: ordinary residential occupancy, heated, sited on ground that's neither fully sheltered nor fully exposed. Any one of those changing - pitch, exposure, heating, occupancy - moves the real figure.
Nothing here substitutes for an address-level number. Get one free, in about a minute, from the ASCE 7 Hazard Tool using your own coordinates rather than Aleutians East Borough's county-wide figure. See the methodology guide.
