6:00AM: 43F, woke up to rain.

Still expecting rain today, tomorrow, then heavy rain Thursday. We have a large system hitting the panhandle and Sitka will get a big share of that.

SE40kt gale tonight - no fishing for John!

Attached is a pic of a lovely, super bright rainbow last night.

No rainbows without rain!

So this is some gross weather. Ugh. @AlaskaWx why is it snowing instead of raining?

Hey! NWS says Sitka broke our high temp record yesterday!

We hit 65 - old record 61 set in 2021. Yakutat also set a record - 64/60.

The thing I notice is that the old record was so recent. No bueno.

6:15AM: 38F, overcast.

It always seems that tourists have chancy weather if they come early (April) or late (Sept.)

Seriously, do NOT coming in Sept/Oct - you're just asking for a gale then!

I felt bad for the ones slogging through the falling slush yesterday.

In other news, we already have a huge controversy re: tourists and it was only the first day.

Buckle up, Buttercups! Gonna be a long summer.

24.03.29 Midtown Anchorage @ 7:45 am 27° and partly cloudy and lots of frost. Still, the rock wall that faces the south wall of the house is melting clear, even though the big piles pulled down off the roof are, well, still big.

Cloudy today, into tomorrow and then....

"Here comes the sun, doo-doo-doo-doo

Here comes the sun

And I say, it's alright

Little darlin', it's been a long, cold, lonely winter

Little darlin', it feels like years since it's been here"

Doffing my cap to all you sun-lovers out there - this is your time to...

Shine!

Whoa, where’s the inversion we hill-people have learned to enjoy? 5° F on Keystone Ridge at 6:00pm. I imagine this wind (to 25mph) is mixing up the temperature layers.

Graph of average wind speed (red) and gusts (green dots). Blue dots indicate wind direction. Time in UTC spanning 3/16/24 to 3/17/24.

6:00AM: 44F, cloudy.

We're bracing for that "plume of moisture" that's coming. Our special weather statement extends into NEXT Tuesday.

A week of rain, heavy at times.

Bring it!

6:46AM: 18F and clouds are coming! Enjoy this last day of sun.

There is a special weather statement for the SE regarding the possible snow, but...

Alas, poor Yakutat has once again got a weather warning of snow all to itself. Dang, that little town gets hammered constantly!

6:00AM: 15F, clear skies.

Another sunny day in paradise. Well, paradise if you can afford to live here, but that's for another post. 😉 😆

I put on my cleats and braved Totem Park. Long stretches of clear gravel punctuated by sneaky, slippery spots. I can't afford to fall, so it will be cleats again today!

We did meet up with a heron, who did not need cleats.

The 60mph winds are back for the night. It's 36º and the power is flickering. Really fun to have to go out to the woodshed for another wheelbarrow load of firewood just in case the power goes out tonight. It's a nice feeling to be prepared, but this is no big deal here in Bear Valley.

10pm in Bear Valley, AK. It's freaking +40º and still breezy with 20-30mph gusts. Crazy.

I know Juneau folks will be scoffing at my wide-eyed appreciation of the snow. (As well they should! They are being buried again.)

I'm surprised at all this:. Yesterday the NWS was predicting no accumulation , now it's changed to several inches over tonight and tomorrow.

A testament to the fickleness of Alaska weather and the difficulty of prediction.

Just trees, across the rooftop, covered with snow.
More snow covered trees from the rooftops.

Got an alert on my phone. There will be rain. Lots of rain. But notice the freezing level goes up above 5000 ft for Sitka.

Bad news indeed.

Moonrise late this afternoon over the mountains across the bay from the Seward, AK. small boat harbor. It's clear and cold!
