Winter Weather Advisory issued March 1 at 6:52AM AKST until March 2 at 6:00AM AKST by NWS Juneau AK
...ANOTHER ROUND OF SNOWFALL EXPECTED SUNDAY FOR CENTRAL PANHANDLE... The active weather pattern continues through Sunday as remnants of yesterday's storm continues to dissipate. Split flow will develop as an incoming front stalls across the central panhandle, with cold strong northerly outflow winds developing across the northern inner channels and warmer southerly winds across the southern panhandle. This sets the stage for portions of the central and southern panhandle to see moderate to heavy snowfall by Sunday afternoon through Sunday evening as another surge of moisture pushes into the area. A transition to a rain snow mix is expected through Monday morning with a transition to rain by Monday afternoon as temperatures increase. Main forecast challenge is potential for temperatures to warm up quicker than expected through Sunday night and into Monday morning with the front moving further north, limiting snowfall accumulations. * WHAT...Snow expected. Total snow accumulations of 5 to 9 inches. * WHERE...Prince of Wales Island and City and Borough of Wrangell. * WHEN...Until 6 AM AKST Monday. * IMPACTS...Travel could be very difficult. The hazardous conditions could impact the morning commute. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Highest snowfall totals will remain on the northern side of Prince of Wales Island and upper elevations near Wrangell. Heaviest snowfall rates are expected by Sunday afternoon through Sunday night. Snow ratios will decrease through Sunday night as warm air pushes northward with a transition to a mixed precipitation through late Monday morning.

About
Berg Bay Cabin sits on the mainland's north shore of Berg Bay, overlooking Blake Channel and distant mountains within Alaska's Inside Passage. Built in 1965, this 16-by-16-foot A-frame cabin accommodates up to seven people with two single bunks (one with trundle bed) and a second-floor loft. The cabin includes a table with benches, oil stove (No. 1 stove oil required), fire grill, broom, and a partially covered front porch with wooden cooler box. An outhouse and 25-foot mooring float serve cabin guests. The surrounding rainforest consists primarily of Sitka spruce and western hemlock with scattered cedar and muskeg. The nearby Aaron Creek tideflats feature extensive grass sedges and wildflowers, creating habitat for brown and black bears, moose, sea otters, grouse, ptarmigan, and waterfowl. Mountain goats occasionally appear on surrounding ridges. Two trails provide hiking access: the 0.4-mile boardwalked Aaron Creek Trail extending to the grassflats, and the unmaintained 4-mile Berg Creek Trail leading to Berg Basin. Fishing opportunities include pink salmon in mid-July through mid-August, silver and chum salmon from August to September, and steelhead in April and May in Aaron and Oerns Creeks. Crabbing is available in Berg Bay and saltwater areas near the tideflats, though high levels of Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning have been reported. The tideflats are popular for waterfowl hunting during designated seasons. Kayakers and canoers can explore Berg Bay, but must consult tide charts as the bay entrance is shallow and may dry at low tide. Guests must bring their own water or treat stream water, pack heating oil, sleeping gear, cooking equipment, and pack out all trash.
Directions
Located on the mainland along the north shore of Berg Bay, east of Blake Channel near the mouth of Aaron Creek. Accessible by boat (22 miles from Wrangell through Eastern Passage) or floatplane (15 miles from Wrangell). Boat access requires arrival at high tide due to shallow bay entrance. A 25-foot mooring float is available for cabin guests.
