Storm/Sky Watch

It’s not uncommon for storms to roll in especially since Juneau is located in the largest temperate rainforest in North America. The Tongass National Forest covers approximately 17 million acres, which includes most of Alaska’s Inside Passage.

High Winds

Early Friday morning we had beautiful blue sky. The mountains were covered with fresh snow, and we see for miles. By about 9 a.m. the winds had picked up and it had started snowing. Saturday morning, it was evident that we had received some strong gusts over night. These Mendenhall Valley residents had the top of a large spruce tree fall on their van. Thankfully the damage wasn’t worse and no one was injured.

Harris Harbor

A thick layer of fog blanketed Juneau this morning. As I searched for something interesting to photograph, I decided to stop at Harris Harbor to look at boats. Much to my surprise was the name of one particular boat. Do you see it?
