PALMER — A blizzard warning goes into effect Thursday evening in the Matanuska Valley, with gusty winds also expected for Anchorage Friday, as another round of arctic air hits Southcentral Alaska.
The wind could make for a hazardous commute Friday morning, forecasters warned. Blizzards don’t necessarily involve new snow: this warning describes a ground blizzard from high winds blowing snow that’s already fallen, leaving piles along roadsides after three major stormsSnow drifts were already problematic enough in Mat-Su that school officials enacted a 1-hour delay Thursday morning to allow crews to clear drafts blocking roads and school grounds.
“Widespread blowing snow could significantly reduce visibility,” the agency said. “The hazardous conditions could impact the Friday morning commute. Very strong winds could cause extensive tree damage and cause power outages. Cold wind chills as low as 30 below zero could cause frostbite on exposed skin in as little as 10 minutes.”
The previous Winter Weather Advisory for the Matanuska Valley has been upgraded to a ⚠️Blizzard Warning⚠️🌬Expect NE winds gusting to 65 mph, visibility down to 1/4 mile or less, and wind chills down to -30 F
