Hello SNOW! The next couple of days should be exciting for those who love the white stuff. Hopefully the remaining mushers closing in on the finish line of the Yukon Quest will not be hampered too much by this new low pressure trough moving into the area and can join Dallas Seavey (rookie winner) and others who have arrived in Fairbanks after the 1000 miles journey from Whitehorse.

Snow will develop this evening and continue through Friday morning. A total snow accumulation of 3 to 5 inches is expected by noon Friday. Locally higher amounts in excess of 6 inches are possible on the hills. The snow will taper off to scattered snow showers Friday afternoon.
