"Snowing like a mother" Trapper Creek to Cantwell right now

[I'LL WIN]

Just hung up from talking to a friend who drives to/from Fairbanks 2x/wk. He just arrived in Fairbanks and his words were "snowing like a mother from Trapper Creek to Cantwell". There is 5-6" on the ground right now and he said DOT is expecting another 14" tonight! Keep up the snow dances, they're working!

It's a start...but cantwell needs more than 2 feet to be rideable

Not sure how accurate the forcast, just relating what I heard. The guy I got the info from drives a semi so He's on the road and radio right now. His weather forcast comes from DOT guys out plowing on the highway right now also and what they are expecting to be dealing with tonight/tomorrow.

 

[nuckinfuts]

I've found NOAA to be the most acurate for forcasts, but boots on the ground are usually better .

Welcome to Alaska, if ya don't like the weather just wait 5 min, it'll change...lol

It's a start!... it'd be nice if I had a sled before the snow gets ridable...

 

[snow_freak]

so ill probably be heading that way this weekend with a full load of sleds, if not north then it'll be tompson pass so if any one has updates lets hear them.

Buddy just called me from Turnagain on his way to Soldotna, parking lot @ Turny has 8" of fresh , snowing hard in the pass, had to throw it in 4x4.

 

[AkHockey10]

Thats a start! Ill take it!

Great news so far, I wonder if P-Ville is getting hit too??

trapper creek is about 9 miles east of the kroto parking lot, pretty safe bet they are getting some snow.

 

[AkSledHed]

Yeah, I know they got snow, I'm just hoping their getting hammered.

Nice! Shouldn't take long to add up.

just called kenny creek lodge, the guy said they had 2 inches of snow. it was 42 degrees. and the winter weather advisory was cancelled. so p-ville is no good. I just drove through turnagain and there was 8 inches, but it was starting to rain. this winter sucks! thompson pass webcam looks like just a dusting also

Drove Healy to Anchorage today. 3 inches max. And the wind screamed through there last night.
