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
Point Bridget State Park encompasses 2,850 acres of stunning Southeast Alaska wilderness on Lynn Canal, 40 miles north of Juneau. Created by the Alaska State Legislature in 1988, the park offers meadows, cliffs, spectacular views, salmon spawning streams, rocky beaches, and coastal rainforest. The park provides three backcountry public-use cabins: Blue Mussel Beach Cabin, Cowee Meadow Cabin, and Camping Cove Cabin, each accommodating up to 8 people. The Point Bridget Trail system covers approximately 8 miles, beginning with packed gravel that descends into rainforest muskeg. About 1.4 miles from the trailhead, hikers encounter beaver meadows with unique wetlands. Horse Meadow features spectacular wildflowers peaking in late June. The trail continues to Cowee Meadow Cabin, where a short planked trail leads to scenic shoreline. Blue Mussel Cabin lies another 0.8 miles through forest paralleling cliffy coastline. Cedar Lake sits 380 feet above sea level, accessible via a more primitive trail section. In winter, the meadows and open forest provide excellent skiing and snowshoeing opportunities. The park offers outstanding wildlife viewing, particularly bears during salmon spawning season from June through October.
Directions
From Juneau Airport, take Shell Simmons Drive to Glacier Highway and turn left. Continue on Egan Drive which becomes Glacier Highway. The trailhead is located at milepost 38.5 of Glacier Highway, approximately 40 miles north of Juneau. Also accessible by boat via Lynn Canal to Amalga Harbor or Echo Cove.
