Snow Dayz
Valdezeans woke up to a fresh snowfall of 14.1 inches this morning. It seemed more like two feet to me. I checked the Daily Climate Summary - Valdez and the National Weather Service says 14.1 inches today. Month to date - 42.8 inches. Since Dec 1 - 81.2 inches. Since July 1 - 125.0 inches and the snow depth is 40 inches. Last year at this time the snow depth was 49 inches.
This is the view today from the ferry dock. You can barely see the lights of Alyeska Pipeline Terminal. Valdez Bay is the northern most ice free port chosen for this reason as the terminus of the Trans-Alaska pipeline.
