I've beaten that at my locations a few times in the past couple decades I've lived here. Of course just like the mainland there are areas that get more. Valdez, Alaska - It’s the snowiest place in the U.S. The city of Valdez receives an average of 300 inches of snow annually. But that’s in town, at sea level. Nearby Thompson Pass sees 600 to 900 inches each year on average, and during some winters 100+ inches can fall each month for up to five consecutive months. Compare that to Jackson Hole at 459 annual inches, Alta at 563, Crystal Mountain at 486… Despite the heavy snowfall, Valdez schools have only had one snow day in recent memory. The winter of 2011-2012 brought an unusually heavy snowfall in town. By January 24 of 2012, 327 inches had fallen in Valdez — already well over the yearly average of 300. December alone saw 152 inches, with another 103 falling in January. City-owned buildings, including schools, reported snow loads that exceeded their design capacity. For the first time in decades, Valdez kids got a snow day. It’s one of the most spectacular places to watch the Northern Lights. It’s hard to beat that backdrop for seeing the dancing lights of the aurora borealis. https://resources.finalsite.net/images/v1643664378/troyk12mius/oxcxh3kl6omzqmhghxmw/northernlights.pdf 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There must be some correlation here, since our winter was so abysmal in the east. Makes sense, when there is troughing in AK we usually have a warm SE ridge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators StretchCT Posted February 1 Moderators Share Posted February 1 Norton For next week, more of the same with high pressure remaining centered to our northwest and the low well offshore. The uncertainty increases beyond Sunday, though, regarding the eventual track of an ocean storm that moves out of the southeastern U.S. and either out to sea or northwest toward our eastern waters. Ensembles show a wide range of low center tracks, but the vast majority are well to our south, so odds of any impact from this storm are minimal at this point in time.

Wtkidz Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 LWX. Says . Storm ? Go south , my friends…/ High pressure will continue to keep the area dry Monday and Tuesday as an area of low pressure passes well south of the region. This is in accordance to what looks to be a fairly convergent weather pattern across the region. 12z modeling continues to hold the area in between a cutoff low over the northwest Atlantic and upper level ridge over the Midwest/Great Lakes region. This keeps a fairly active southern stream suppressed south of the region with any moisture shunted into the southeastern U.S. Outside of a few passing clouds Monday and Tuesday from the southern stream low pressure system, dry conditions should prevail. This will be the case throughout much of the extended period as the upper level ridge axis builds eastward mid to late next week. High temperatures will remain at to slightly above average throughout the period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No sun, no weather makes RT a dull boy. It is stunning, how despite lack of weather it is constantly overcast. We are on another streak almost 2 weeks of no sun, continuing the 2024 theme. Read an El Ninja side effect. Give me sun and 40’s till the pattern changes. At least the toolboxes lifted the , ahem, drought watch, as I watch my pool float away to the nearby raging river.
