UPDATED!
Here is our updated timeline with a bit more specific information on timing and snowfall totals. Travel will likely be very difficult with snow, rain, then more snow and colder temperatures. #akwx #winterstorm
ALT A timeline graphic for the Fairbanks area from Monday October 21st to Tuesday October 22nd. Expect snow to begin tonight, heavy at times with 4-6 inches expected by daybreak, then a change to rain midday Monday, then a change back to snow Monday evening and overnight with on and off snow through Tuesday and into Wednesday. Additional snowfall of 3-7 inches expected.

The Fairbanks Airport is now up to 1.79" of precip since midnight, the 7th wettest single day on record. The December 2021 ice storm featured 1.93" of liquid precipitation in one day. With continued rain/snow expected through midnight, it is very possible today will exceed that.

What’s Next for Snow? Join us at the 2025 @NASA Community Snow Meeting this August 14-15 in Boulder, Colorado, USA — at @CUBoulder — to partake in the discussion. More info, including the meeting schedule and a registration link, is available here: nasa-csm.github.io/website/
What’s for breakfast today? This morning’s polar bear family gathering at the #DOE ARM facility at Utqiagvik, Alaska.
Great presentations today (Michael Durand) and yesterday @pflug_justin #AGU Chapman Remote Sensing of Water Cycle
Inspiring talks and great discussion at the opening session of AGU Chapman conference on remote sensing of water cycle #AGU
Another day of old-fashioned Fairbanks cold. I am driving to work and see a line of cars in front of the temperature sign. This would be one way to start the day:-)
So many good snow talks today! Consider joining us for SnowEx presentations starting at 2:10pm today, MC-2004.

Final day in the Arctic for @NASA #SnowEx2023 #SnowExAlaska highlights airborne radar and radiometer flights with ground crews taking snow microstructure, density and depth measurements. We were thrilled to see this aircraft with radar flying above us!

"Recent decreases in snow water storage in western North America" is out today:

Here we develop a new metric for evaluating the storage of water in the snowpack as a function of the timing and magnitude of precipitation relative to water availability.
