Frostbite and hypothermia are likely if exposed to these temperatures.
Special Weather Statement issued January 4 at 6:12AM AKST by NWS Anchorage AK
A pattern shift is expected from the frigid cold temperatures to a return to a snowy pattern for all of Southcentral late this evening. Cold air already in place at the surface will allow for snow to be very dry, fluffy, and transportable. This will increase the potential for snow to accumulate quickly and any winds could easily blow that snow around, reducing visibility. Snow is expected to begin over the southern Kenai Peninsula after 6PM, spreading north towards Anchorage by around 9PM. The heavy snowfall rates will most likely occur between 9PM and 6AM. There is lower confidence at this time for how quickly snow will accumulate along parts of the Seward Highway, but the potential exists for snowfall rates up 1 inch an hour through East Turnagain Arm, Turnagain Pass, Portage Valley, Whittier, Moose Pass, and Seward. Light snow will likely continue through Monday morning, but rates should decrease after 6AM. Snow totals range from 4 to 9 inches. Another round of light snow is possible later on Monday through Wednesday morning, but accumulation should be at a more steady rate. If you plan to travel, prepare for accumulating snow and potentially reduced visibility Monday morning. Plan for extra time to reach your destination and consider any extra supplies you may need.

About
Log Jam Bay Cabin provides a truly remote wilderness experience on Montague Island in the Gulf of Alaska at the entrance to Prince William Sound. This 12x14-foot rustic cabin accommodates up to 6 people and sits on the northeast side of 80-acre Stump Lake, surrounded by thick spruce and hemlock forest with an understory of muskeg, shrubs, and grasses. The cabin includes essential amenities: a wood stove, oil stove (guests must bring kerosene, approximately one gallon per day), table, splitting maul, saw, rainwater catchment barrel, outhouse, and a rowboat for lake use. Anglers will find excellent fishing opportunities with cutthroat trout and Dolly Varden most abundant in the lake, best caught off rocky points or near pond lily beds using fly fishing or spinning gear. Pink, coho, and sockeye salmon run into the lake with smaller populations, while the best salmon fishing occurs in the ocean or at the creek mouth during high tide. Hunters can pursue Sitka black-tailed deer during late summer through late fall seasons, and brown bear during spring and fall seasons. The cabin is just under a mile from the Gulf of Alaska, where sandy beaches offer beachcombing opportunities for glass Japanese fishing floats and other treasures. Access requires a 45-minute flight from Cordova or Seward by float plane or wheeled plane. Float planes land directly on the lake next to the cabin, though in fall, winter, and early spring the lake may be frozen and inaccessible to float planes. Wheeled planes land on the outside beach at low tide, requiring a 3/4-mile hike via trail to reach the cabin. Guests must bring their own supplies including sleeping bags, mattresses, cooking utensils, food, kerosene for the oil stove, life vests for the rowboat, and extra supplies for 2-5 days in case weather delays departure. Surface water must be boiled for 5 minutes before drinking.
Directions
Located 65 miles southwest of Cordova on the northeast side of Stump Lake on Montague Island. Access is by float plane or wheeled plane only, typically a 45-minute flight from either Cordova or Seward. Float planes land on the lake next to the cabin. Wheeled planes land on the outside beach strip at low tide; if using wheeled plane, gear must be hiked 3/4 mile to the cabin via trail. Float plane access may be unavailable when lake is frozen in fall, winter, and early spring.
