Winter Storm Watch issued March 1 at 2:45PM AKST until March 4 at 3:00AM 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 possible. Total snow accumulations of 8 to 13 inches possible. * WHERE...Glacier Bay, Eastern Chichagof Island, Cape Fairweather to Lisianski Strait, Admiralty Island and City and Borough of Juneau. * WHEN...From late Monday night through late Tuesday night. * IMPACTS...Travel could be very difficult and is discouraged. The hazardous conditions could impact the morning or evening commute. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...An arctic boundary over the panhandle is expected to continue to linger around Frederick Sound Monday into Tuesday. An approaching system will bring a fresh influx of moisture and moderate to heavy snow to the central panhandle. A more southerly track of this feature could lead to much lower snow totals for communities north of Angoon.

About
Thayer Lake Shelter North is a historic backcountry shelter built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s. This 12' x 10' 3-sided Adirondack-style structure with a dirt floor sits at the north end of Thayer Lake on central Admiralty Island, deep within the Kootznoowoo Wilderness and Admiralty Island National Monument. The shelter is part of the Admiralty Island Canoe Route system and offers basic protection from the elements in one of Alaska's most remote wilderness areas. Access is by floatplane only, approximately 40 minutes from Juneau. Thayer Lake typically remains ice-free from early May through mid-November, making it ideal for fishing along its shallow edges. The shelter is linked by trails to other lakes and shelters in the area, including the Distin to Thayer Trail. Non-potable water is available from the lake and must be treated or filtered. The area receives light use due to its remote location and offers exceptional opportunities for viewing brown bears, other wildlife, and experiencing true wilderness solitude in Alaska's rainforest ecosystem.
Directions
Located on central Admiralty Island at the north end of Thayer Lake. Access by floatplane only. One-way flight time from Juneau is approximately 40 minutes. Suggested USGS topo map: Sitka C-2.
