Thank you to incredible #SnowEx2023 group for completing Arctic portion of the Alaska campaign. The dedication, resilience, and teamwork that we had is truly inspiring. @NASA@uafairbanks@BoiseState@ArmyERDC Huge thanks to @Toolik team for excellent support!
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
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: https://t.co/pcPG0xivOi
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:-)

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!
Greetings from the snowy Alaskan Arctic! The #SnowEx field campaign has kicked off, and we're ready for ground-based, airborne radar and lidar snow measurements. Radar calibration targets near #Toolik are ready and ground-based teams measured snow on the Arctic Coastal Plain.
