Winter Storm Warning issued December 29 at 5:48PM AKST until December 31 at 12:00PM AKST by NWS Juneau AK
...SNOW CONTINUES FOR THE NORTHERN PANHANDLE INTO MID WEEK... .Snowfall and periods of freezing rain continue for much of the northern half of the panhandle from Juneau and Icy Strait corridor area northward. The rain/snow line has moved southward today sitting just south of Tenakee Springs and Elfin Cove Monday evening. Snow totals have so far been around 15 to 47 inches across the northern panhandle. A low in the gulf is continuing to send surges of moisture into the panhandle with another surge expected to arrive for the northern inner channels late Monday night, bringing more renewed snowfall rates with it. Following this will be a slight decrease in snow rates Tuesday before a second wave of moisture is expected for late Tuesday night. Into Wednesday precip rates should then start to diminish. The rain/snow line will be wavering south of the Icy Strait area through this entire time period. Please stay tuned to future updates on this impactful storm. * WHAT...Heavy snow. Additional snow accumulations of 17 to 22 inches. * WHERE...Glacier Bay and City and Borough of Juneau. * WHEN...Until noon AKST Wednesday. * IMPACTS...Travel will be very difficult. The hazardous conditions could impact the evening commute. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Additional accumulating snowfall totals will be highly variable. The bulk of the additional snow accumulation will be where heavier showers move through, and out the road in Juneau. Snowfall rates will pick up again late Monday night, diminish on Tuesday, then pick back up again Tuesday night as a series of waves moves through, though these will be weaker than previous waves.
About
Dan Moller Cabin sits at 1,800 feet elevation in the alpine landscape of central Douglas Island, surrounded by snow-capped peaks and evergreen trees. This popular two-level cedar cabin sleeps seven with a double and single bunk downstairs plus four bunks in the upstairs loft. The cabin is equipped with a table, benches, propane wall furnace, wood stove, and an outhouse. Two decks provide views overlooking the valley and mountains toward Admiralty Island. The 3-mile Dan Moller Trail features an 1,800-foot elevation gain through muskeg with partially planked sections that become slippery when wet or frosty. Summer access is by hiking, while winter visitors can use snowmobiles (when snow is at least 12 inches deep), snowshoes, or skis. The trail follows Kowee Creek through wildflower meadows and continues beyond the cabin into the mountains. High avalanche danger exists in winter and early spring. Visitors must bring sleeping bags, pads, cooking stoves, cookware, utensils, food, lighting, and water or treat water from the nearby stream. Propane for the furnace is provided. The cabin serves as a public warming shelter from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wildlife in the area includes black bear, deer, wolves, and grouse. Maximum stay is two consecutive nights, and the cabin is heavily used year-round with very high demand.
