In my last post I mentioned how cold the eastern Bering Sea waters are compared to normal, and as if to illustrate the point, snow was in the air at times today along the northern coast of Bristol Bay. Dillingham saw mixed rain and snow for a couple of hours, nearby Manokotak had a period of snow, and out to the west snow has been falling all day on the elevated headland of Cape Newenham.
The observations from Cape Newenhem airport (elevation 541') suggest that snow was accumulating this morning, with temperatures below freezing and visibility below 1 mile for a couple of hours.
Looking back at the surprisingly complete history of hourly weather data from Cape Newenham, it looks like this is the most significant snow after May 20 since 1973.
