Seward Highway is closed and your picture shows why. They just closed Thompson Pass a few minutes ago, so no escaping in any direction. Also forecast just got updated and now it’s 12-24 inches over the next 8 hours and winds of 75 MPH. It is coming down hard and sideways!

This is a picture of Belanger Pass that I live near the top of. It’s shut down as well. A neighbor just sent this to me. We had a couple gusts above 90 mph. Almost no wind now and it’s snowed almost a foot in the last 2 hours and it’s not slowing down.

We got heavy rain and mid 40's last night. They are calling for the same overnight tonight, plus 35 to 45 MPH wind. Normal winter weather returns later this week.

Well, that was the weirdest weather event I ever experienced. I went to bed last night to clear skies with no wind. Woke up to the lightest of flurries. About noon the winds hit hard and for us they hit up to 90 MPH, then the snow came and the wind faded fast. The worst of the wind event lasted maybe 40 minutes. In about 4 hours we got over 24 inches of wet snow. Now the moon is out with clears skies, and not a hint of wind. Anchorage, about 4 hours from us, got winds up to 110 MPH.

Since I just got in after spending 10 hours dealing with the event, this is what hit us. Hurricanes in Alaska don’t get names. According to the post I pulled this from, the size of the storm was about the distance from California to Virginia.

From what I've been reading, @Alaskajohn , there will be more of these storms! Guess the La Nina is fueling them! Weird weather everywhere this winter!! Keep us updated on anything else that hits you please!!
