Wind gusts up to 45 mph were possible in Bear Valley and upper Potter Marsh, according to the weather service.South of Anchorage, from Girdwood to Seward, the National Weather Service was cautioning of strong winds, heavy snow and potentially hazardous road conditions Sunday.
The snow combined with strong winds could significantly reduce visibility, and mixed precipitation could create dangerous driving conditions.— including the communities of Kenai and Soldotna — snow accumulation of up to 1 inch along with ice accumulation of up to two-tenths of an inch were possible with mixed precipitation in the forecast, according to the weather service.
