* WHAT...Snow and localized areas of blowing and drifting snow expected. Total snow accumulations between 6 and 14 inches, with locally higher amounts near Hatcher Pass and Anchorage/Eagle River Hillsides. Winds gusting to 20 mph across parts of the Mat-Su Valleys and North and West Anchorage. Visibility reduced to as low as one half mile at times. * WHERE...Anchorage / Eagle River (all elevations), Matanuska Valley, Hatcher Pass, Southern Susitna Valley, and Central Susitna Valley. * WHEN...Until 7 AM AKST Wednesday. * IMPACTS...Travel could be very difficult. Areas of blowing snow could significantly reduce visibility. The light and powdery nature of the snow will be easily lofted by winds and vehicles, leading to the potential of significantly reduced visibility at times on area roadways. Snow and frost on very cold surfaces will lead to slick road conditions. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...This will be a prolonged winter weather event with two distinct periods of snow. For this initial event, gusty winds may cause localized areas of drifting and blowing snow, especially across N and W Anchorage through the rest of this morning. Then, snow will become lighter or taper off for a time through late this afternoon before the second round of snow develops. This second round of snow will linger into Wednesday morning before slowly diminishing. 6 to 14 inches of snow is possible with this second round, with locally higher amounts possible at higher elevations, including the Anchorage/Eagle River Hillside and Hatcher Pass.
