The Day After

Good morning! I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving and had lots of good food and fun. Here in the Interior, we survived the freezing rain and icy roads. In fact, this rain event was the worst since 1936!

I was just checking the DOT website (http://511.alaska.gov/alaska511/mappingcomponent) for road conditions. As of 8:00 a.m., travel is not advised in the greater Fairbanks area. There were several accidents noted on the map, as well. So, if you decide to get out and about, please take it slow and be very careful.

We did have some snow over the last 24 hours. I have not measured, but I would guess it would be close to 1 1/2 to 2 inches. The NWS is predicting a few snow showers for today and by the weekend, it will be much colder.

Current Conditions at 8:00 a.m.:

Temperature: 22 degrees
Skies: Light Snow
BP: 29.80 and steady
RH: 90%
Wind: Calm
Sunrise: 10:04 a.m.
Sunset: 3:12 p.m.
