Labor Day Marks First Winter Storm Warning of Late Summer… Wyoming and Alaska Hit With Snow

In an average year snow will begin to fall in Fairbanks, Alaska around October 1st. This is no average year, however, and today marked the first official winter storm warning of the late 2014 summer season. A Labor Day winter storm warning was issued in Alaska and parts of Wyoming were blanketed with snow.
Via the Weather Channel.
Snow fell on the Labor Day weekend in parts of northern Alaska and Wyoming, providing a gentle reminder that summer is on its last legs.
Snow levels lowered to 9,000 feet in northwest Wyoming.
A dusting of snow was captured on Wyoming DOT cams Sunday morning northwest of Dubois, Wyoming along U.S. 26 and 287 at an elevation of 9,500 feet and coated the top of Grand Targhee Resort Sunday afternoon, according to the National Weather Service office in Riverton, Wyoming.
Meanwhile, snow fell over remote parts of northern Alaska last Friday, and was expected to become heavy over the Brooks Range into Tuesday.
This prompted the National Weather Service in Fairbanks to issue the first winter storm warning anywhere in the U.S. since mid-June. Up to 8 inches of wind-driven snow is possible over this remote part of the “Last Frontier,” according to NWS-Fairbanks.

And so it begins… summer is about to come to an abrupt and rude end.
