What A Winter Storm In Alaska Actually Looks Like

The first week of 2022 brought hurricane force winds and subzero temperatures to Palmer and Wasilla, Alaska. Gusts of winds were clocked at 113 mph and the temperatures hovered at 0 or below making for EXTREME wind chills. The wind damaged property throughout the Valley and caused power outages for much of South Central Alaska. Because we had a generator and woodstove, the weather was merely an inconvenience, but for many it was a terrible start to 2022.
