heaviest snow remaining west of the parks highway. Potential storm
total accumulations of 18 to 30 inches are possible...with highest
amounts nearest the base of the alaska range.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

hey

Just got back from fairbanks, and wasn't snowing any where yet. There were people riding igloo area, probably a foot or more, seem deep though. There is barely any snow in cantwell.

Seems like when they give a report like that it winds up spritzing a tenth of an inch. When they call for scattered light snow we get a foot or more. I've lived here on and off since 71 and they never have, nor, will they probably ever be able to accuratelly predict weather here.... On the bright side it is currently snowing in Willow

We need snow. Its hardly worth driving north, and for what? I can could just drink at home and sit in the yard, that would be cheaper.

 

[theultrarider]

Hope it stays cold enough for you guys up north. It is pouring rain right now in Soldotna. Hope it is stays snow up in the pass.
