...first snowfall of the winter likely at higher elevations
of southcentral alaska tonight...

Colder air moving southward across western alaska today will
gradually filter into southcentral alaska late tonight into
tuesday. Meanwhile...a storm system over the northern gulf
will move inland across southcentral alaska tonight producing
widespread precipitation. As the cold air arrives rain will
mix with and then change to snow along the mountains of
southcentral. Locations with the most likelihood of seeing
snow include the upper hillside of anchorage...hatcher's
pass...higher elevations of the glenn highway around eureka...the
northern susitna valley...and along the denali highway. The snow
will be very wet and ground temperatures are very warm...so
accumulation across these areas is expected to generally be light.

Lower elevations...including anchorage and the matanuska valley
will remain primarily rain. However...if the precipitation is
heavy enough there may be snowflakes mixed in with the rain during
the early morning hours.
 
Now that the clouds have lifted this morning here in the Anchorage bowl area, go look outside your window. Sure is purdy out!

You should see it back my valley! I'm surrounded by snowcapped mtns! I think it's going to be a great year for snow!

WOOOOHOOOOOOOO!!!!

:D :beer;:beer;
 
The snow must be coming in from the South. They're calling for 16" tonight for elevations above 10k ft here in the Colorado Rockies. Good to hear the good stuff is falling up North too.:beer;
 
Yall will like this then.


We drove the Denali Rd yesterday, and went all the way to wonder lake aprxo 87 miles in. We got off the permit area and it was coming down pretty good lastnight at higher elevations...we got out Just in time


This is what I found when I stepped outside the camper this morning...... Mile 12 inside the Denail National Park @ the Savage River Campground just north of Cantwell. 6" of Fresh snow...@ 2400ft. Farther in the park recieved 2-3 ft @ higher elevations from what the rangers said.

Hopefully this early snow gets the dealers and vendors in a bargaining mood for the Winter Rec Show this weekend. I've got a list that needs to be filled! Isn't the Oxygen and Octane Show also coming up soon?
 
Nice pictures, NoJoke. Anyone else take any. I heard it looks pretty nice down there. We had a few flakes this morning here in Fairbanks. Its really got me thinking about winter!
