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
Eagle Beach State Recreation Area is a 600-acre coastal recreation area situated 27 miles north of Juneau along Glacier Highway, at the saltwater confluence of the Eagle and Herbert Rivers. The park offers stunning views of Lynn Canal, the Chilkat Mountains, and the Juneau Mountains. The campground features 16 primitive campsites nestled in a forested section of the park, with several walk-in camping options available for those seeking a more secluded experience. The park's extensive trail system covers 4 miles and includes connections to longer US Forest Service trails that extend up the valley for 6 miles. The main day-use area is fully accessible, featuring a quarter-mile paved trail and viewing scopes for wildlife observation. The white sandy coastal beach features an expansive intertidal area that provides exceptional opportunities for beachcombing, fishing, and wildlife viewing. The area is known for frequent sightings of whales, sea lions, seals, and over 200 species of birds including waterfowl, shorebirds, and seabirds. In addition to the primitive campsites, the park offers three public-use cabins, two picnic shelters, a group camping area, and a boat launch. The campground accommodates RVs up to 35 feet in length and provides vault toilets and water access during the summer season. The campground road is not plowed in winter, and vehicle access is restricted from October 1 to May 1, though the park remains open year-round for walk-in access.
