Winter Storm Warning issued March 1 at 2:45PM AKST until March 2 at 9:00AM AKST by NWS Juneau AK
...MULTIPLE ROUNDS OF SNOWFALL EXPECTED THROUGH EARLY WEEK... The active weather pattern continues with split flow developing as an incoming front stalls across the central panhandle, with cold strong northerly outflow winds across the northern inner channels and warmer southerly winds across the southern panhandle. Portions of the central and southern panhandle will see moderate to heavy snowfall through Sunday evening as another surge of moisture pushes into the area. A transition to a rain snow mix is expected through Monday morning for the southern panhandle up to Sumner Strait. 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. Another system will bring more accumulating snow to the panhandle Monday night into Tuesday night. The track of this follow up feature could lead to significant swings in snow accumulations from Frederick Sound northward to the Icy Strait corridor. * WHAT...Heavy snow. Additional snow accumulations of 5 to 8 inches. * WHERE...Petersburg Borough. * WHEN...Until 9 AM AKST Monday. * IMPACTS...Travel will be very difficult. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...The heaviest snowfall is expected Sunday night into Monday morning. Snow will gradually transition to a rain snow mix through Monday morning. More snow is expected Tuesday, however rising snow levels are expected to begin limiting accumulations.

About
Ravens Roost Cabin is a custom-built alpine cabin located at 1,745 feet elevation on Mitkof Island in southeast Alaska's Tongass National Forest. It is the only Forest Service cabin accessible by trail from Petersburg. The cabin sits atop a mountain above Petersburg Airport, surrounded by flat muskeg terrain with steep mountain slopes beyond, offering scenic views of the Wrangell Narrows and Kupreanof Island to the west. The 16x20-foot cabin features wooden bunks on the main floor, a sleeping loft, a covered deck, and a table and benches. It was designed with door access through the loft to accommodate periods of deep winter snow. An outhouse with a pit toilet is located nearby. The cabin can be reached via the Raven Trail, a steep 4.2-mile hike with 1,800 feet of elevation gain starting from the water towers behind the airport, or by helicopter (3 miles). The area is popular year-round for cross-country skiing, telemark skiing, snowshoeing, and snowmobiling in winter, while summer brings wildflowers and berry picking opportunities. Wildlife including eagles, moose, deer, porcupines, and black bears can be spotted in the area. A winter ski trail south of the cabin links to Twin Creeks Road. Fresh water must be sourced from nearby ponds, muskeg pools, or melted snow and treated before consumption.
Directions
Located atop a mountain above Petersburg Airport on Mitkof Island.
