Good News
...SNOW TO RETURN TO SOUTHCENTRAL... AFTER A PROLONGED PERIOD OF HIGH PRESSURE WITH AREAS OF LOW ELEVATION ICE FOG...A MORE UNSETTTLED...SNOWY WEATHER PATTERN IS ABOUT TO RETURN TO SOUTHCENTRAL. THE CAUSE FOR THE SNOW WILL BE A WEAK LOW PRESSURE FORMING MONDAY OVER THE EASTERN KENAI PENINSULA OR WESTERN PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND AND REMAINING NEARLY STATIONARY FOR A FEW DAYS. SNOW WILL DEVELOP THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT AND INTO MONDAY...BUT WILL BE FAIRLY LIGHT AT FIRST. HOWEVER...SNOWFALL IS EXPECTED TO GRADUALLY INTENSIFY LATE MONDAY AS THE UPPER LEVEL LOW DIVING DOWN OUT OF THE ARCTIC BEGINS TO ENHANCE THE TEMPERATURE GRADIENT OVER THE AREA. WITH VERY LITTLE CHANGING THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT...EXPECT THE SNOW TO CONTINUE. THERE IS A CHANCE THE SNOW COULD EVEN CONTINUE INTO WEDNESDAY NIGHT OR THURSDAY ESPECIALLY IN THE PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND AREA. ALTHOUGH IT IS TOO EARLY TO GIVE OUT EXACT SNOWFALL TOTALS...THE HEAVIER AMOUNTS WILL BE FROM THE EASTERN KENAI EAST TOWARD VALDEZ. THE ANCHORAGE BOWL...MATANUSKA VALLEY...SOUTHEAST SUSITNA VALLEY...AND COPPER RIVER BASIN STAND TO GET AT LEAST SEVERAL INCHES AS WELL. KEEP IN TOUCH WITH THE LATEST NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORECASTS FOR SNOWFALL AMOUNTS OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS.

Another Beautiful Day
The sunset this afternoon was dreamy.
The pinks from the alpenglow and sunset made me happy.
There was thick fog down on the valley floor and in the Turnagain arm/ Cook inlet regions.
Between the snow making and the fog, not much sun was making it down to the base of 4.
