Delta Ju...Thanks Rick, an impressive event indeed! Delta Junction was down to 1/4-1/2 mile visibility in heavy snow with winds gusting over 30kt on Friday afternoon. The hourly obs included 15 hours with snow and 1 mile or less visibility, which is the most on record for a calendar day since the ASOS was installed in 1997. The two-day record appears to be 17 such hours on Dec 25-26, 1997, although I don't see any corroborating reports of heavy snow accumulation in that event.<br />Richard Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08313902028896263276noreply@blogger.com
