Well, that Escalated Quickly

Summary

Southcentral saw their biggest snow event of the season so far. Hatcher Pass added two feet of snowpack, which should really help kick off the year there. A short, cold, dry couple of days will be followed by a strong storm in the Gulf of Alaska arriving on Friday and the wet pattern keeps rolling. Over the next ten days, we'll see some hefty snow totals in AK.
