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
Young Lake North Cabin offers a genuine wilderness experience on the northern tip of Admiralty Island within the Kootznoowoo Wilderness. This Pan Abode cabin sits back 50 feet from Young Lake under a canopy of old growth spruce and hemlock forest at 320 feet elevation. The cabin accommodates 4-6 people with two single wooden bunks and two double wooden bunks, along with a cooking counter, table and benches, oil stove, and basic supplies. A skiff with oars is provided for exploring the lake, and guests may bring a small outboard motor under 10 horsepower per wilderness regulations. Young Lake provides excellent fishing for cutthroat trout, dolly varden, and coho salmon. The Admiralty Cove-Young Lake Trail departs directly from the cabin, offering a 4.5-mile relatively flat hike through temperate rainforest to Admiralty Cove Cabin. The trail can be strenuous in wet conditions. This is prime brown bear country, with bears particularly active during salmon runs from July through August. Wildlife viewing opportunities include Sitka black-tailed deer and bald eagles. The cabin requires float plane access from Juneau (approximately 15-20 minutes flight time) and is one of two cabins on Young Lake.
Directions
Access is by float plane only from Juneau, approximately 15-20 minutes flight time. Helicopter access is prohibited as the cabin is within designated Wilderness. The lake must be ice-free for float plane landings, typically mid-May through November. Refer to USGS topographic map Juneau A-2.
