May 21 - Travel on Alaska Hwy not advised due to snowfall

From http://energeticcity.ca/article/news/2013/05/21/travel-on-alaska-highway-not-advised-due-to-heavy-snowfall

Travel on the Alaska Highway is not advised today due to heavy snowfall. The department of Public Works and Government Services Canada warns that Highway 97 is currently in poor driving conditions with heavy snowfall at higher elevations. Driving is advised only if necessary.

A snowfall warning continues for Fort Nelson, with 10 to 15 centimetres expected over higher terrain today and tonight. The heaviest snowfall is expected to occur along the higher sections of the Alaska Highway just north of Sikanni Chief where up to 15 centimetres is possible by Wednesday morning.

  • Yes, it is time for Mother Nature to divorce Old Man Winter ...
  • We are leaving for Alaska on May 30. If we get to a place where chains are required we will be turning around and making other destination plans. Please Mother Nature, make spring and summer come to British Colombia, Yukon Territory and Alaska.
