Winter sets in
Family in Healy AK report recent snow and very cold temperatures with high winds. Just another day in paradise and normal for living that close to Denali National park. The locals report the tour...

Alaska DOT just sent out a number of warnings regarding heavy snow, ice, blowing snow and poor visibility's on the RIchardson Highway just about all the way from Glennallen to Valdez. Up to 8 inches of new snow expected. Alaska in the winter standard. In 2011 we flew up for 2 weeks to see the Iditerod and experience the places we always visit when we go up in the summer. We've driven up 9 times so far. Just LOVE the place. A great winter time trip, and winter weather didn't seem to phase the locals. We were on the lake for about 5 hours at 0 degrees for the race start and saw -32 on the Parks Highway just north of Denali, but no problems as long as you drove sensibly and were dressed for conditions.
Really amazing country. We love our visits there and hope to return soon.
