Over the past week a low pressure system moving over SW Alaska dropped several inches of rain at sea level -- and roughly 10 feet of snow at elevation.
Thanks giant blob of warm ocean water that now resides in the gulf of Alaska during winter...
Seriously, it doesn't snow at low altitudes like it used to here and the ski areas have really been struggling the last few years. The "good winters" are becoming a rarity. If you go high enough, you do run into snow again. Right now the snow is sitting around 2-3K up in the mountains, but it usually snows down to the ground during at least October (and often before) and is supposed to stay there till spring. Doesn't really go down like that anymore and we can have rain well into January, that's happened a few years now since I've been here.
