   …gh and Nenana. * WHEN...From Tuesday morning through Wednesday afternoon. * IMPACTS...Travel could be very difficult. Areas of blowing snow could significantly reduce visibility. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Lighter snow is expected Monday with some mixed precipitation possible. Heavier snow is possible Tuesday. There is high uncertainty in the exact snow amounts and the placement of the heavier snow. This detail will be crucial in determining which spots get 6"+ and 3" or less. As of right now, we are leaning towards the heaviest snow being towards Eielson with lighter snow in Fairbanks and especially west of Fairbanks. A 30 mile change east or west will result in drastic differences. We will continue to update as details become clearer.
