While snow is most certainly in the forecast for the next several days, it is doubtful that the fall will be quite like it is in Alaska right now. Longtime Garrett County resident Chuck Bowman, who moved to Alaska in 2010, posted this remarkable photo on Facebook this week. This is a mountain pass leading to Valdez, which is the oil-exporting terminal on the south coast of Alaska, adjacent to Anchorage. That area has received nearly 20 feet so far this season, with snow falling continually for 24 days, breaking records there. Garrett County is far behind, with not much more than two feet as of yet. More should come this weekend, with forecasters calling for a few inches tonight and perhaps a few more tomorrow. And who knows what the rest of the season will bring. Sometimes February is the most dramatic month of all. And sometimes it’s not.
