This became Juneau's second snowiest winter on Friday (I think the systematic records go back 64 years).
Over 15 feet of the stuff has fallen into my driveway this winter. By dawn this morning there had been 190 inches at the airport. The record of 194.3 inches was set in the winter of 1964-65.
This morning was warm and sunny, but in the last hour the sky has darkened, the temperature has dropped, and it's begun to snow some more....
------------------------
Snow on the 17th left us 1.9 inches short. The 18th was sunny and warm.
------------------------
Over the top sometime in the early morning of the 21st: 194.6 inches - but it's warmer,windy, and turning to rain today - lots of concern about the snow/rain load on roofs, a flood "advisory," and avalanche danger is "extremely high." We have roads and neighborhoods that sit right in avalanche chutes.
