🚗 Highway Commute Guidance

Morning (7–9 AM)

Clear skies, frosty roads, and slippery spots hiding in bridges, overpasses, and shadows.

  • Parks: Frosty bridges, slow your roll.
  • Glenn: Watch overpasses; traffic building.
  • Seward: Turnagain Pass icy, glare warning.
  • Sterling: Wildlife alert; proceed slowly. ‼️

Afternoon (12–3 PM)

Slight warming under sun, but shaded areas remain slick. Wind chills remain bitter.

  • All Highways: Slow, cautious driving is key. Watch shaded bends and curves.

Evening (4–9 PM)

Temps steady in the single digits; evening refreeze likely. Light snow starts after 8 PM (~0.3 cm accumulation).

  • All Highways: Curves icy, visibility dropping, snow accumulation low but enough to make roads tricky. Extra caution on elevated sections and canyon curves.

💅 Memaw’s Must-Know Tips

  • Winter tires mandatory: No excuses.
  • Blankets and snacks: Cold + hangry = bad decisions.
  • Full gas tank: Especially for Seward & Sterling passes.
  • Check Alaska 511: Live updates for accidents, closures, or pilot cars.
  • Drive cautiously: Arriving safely beats arriving fast.
