@weatherdak Can confirm. We had convective snow in Anchorage with the dendritic zone at the surface. Crystals were low density.

A very cool, compact cyclone in the Gulf of Alaska. A neat hi-res view from GOES-18.

@StefanBurnsGeo Northern Lights in downtown Juneau! Light pollution & all🤩✨🙏💕

@pyaane @StefanBurnsGeo Whoa!

@TroyDeclan Moose on a mission.

Moose on a mission. This bull was on a beeline across the valley, passed me, then continued on his way. Must have been cows up there somewhere. Chugach State Park #Alaska

Derby is reporting a trace of snow today.

For the garbage can fans. Near the end of this timelapse, the aurora got super bright overhead, lighting up the ground and Derby.

I just saw the aurora to the north-northeast in Anchorage. It's not fully dark yet. It's pretty lit in Yellowknife currently. Let's see if we get another pre-10pm burst.

@gingerdianne Same

@GambertonJames Derby is in the shadows in this one. I have a Timelapse of the can with the aurora in the works. 😀

@capture907 Can we get a shot of the garbage can enjoying the aurora? 😂

Last night's aurora show just before 10pm, which took off before the clouds moved in. 😀 This is the 2nd pre-10pm burst this week.

Who's ready for more aurora? This is in normal speed (no timelapse) from 9/30 around 930pm in Anchorage.

There were several nice bursts last night. The first was around 930pm (what an early treat!). This is another bigger one about 125am. This timelapse covers about 5 minutes of time.

@r79583710 The can is in the shadows lower center.

@capture907 Beautiful shot. Also trash can pics or it never happened 😂

Derby wanted to watch the aurora tonight. Happy Garbage Eve to all that celebrate!

Fall auroras in Anchorage usually means aurora with clouds. Here's last nights show.

The hurricane center said this today about hurricane Narda in the east pacific. "A fortuitous 1329 UTC SAR RCM-1 NRCS image revealed a 15 nm symmetric eye beneath a small CDO..." My analysis. Narda has an outie belly button (circled).

While we wait for better conditions, here's another Sept aurora viewed from near Hope, AK with a bright moon. The water is draining out of Turnagain Arm because the moon said to. Like most Sept auroras here, clouds are usually photobombing.

@KarolOrlewicz Yes. No AI.

@capture907 it is true this fish?

Sockeye salmon circle of life. A deceased salmon rests on the river bottom to the left. On the right, a salmon egg (I believe) bounces around. This was the Kenai River on Saturday at the same spot I viewed them the end of last month. The water smell has ripened.

While we wait for more auroras, here's an aurora show from Sep 2023. The clouds had lots of different places to be.
