GREETINGS FROM CANTWELL.....WELL THE WORD IS OUT!!
CANTWELL IS RECEIVING LOTS OF SNOW TODAY. THERE IS APPROXIMATELY 1-2 FEET RIGHT AROUND THE LODGE.
THE CHULITINA, HURRICANE, IGLOO,AND BROAD PASS AREAS ALL HAVE ABOUT 3-4 FEET. MORE IN SOME AREAS THAN OTHERS, NATURALLY.
THE DENALI HWY IS STILL OFFICIALLY CLOSED FOR THE WINTER....BUT THIS YEAR FOR THE NEXT FEW WEEKS ANYWAY, THE ROAD IS OPEN BECAUSE THERE IS SOME DRILLING GOING ON. IT IS OPEN TO MILE 20 (THAT'S WHERE THE DRILL RIG IS) AND A TURN AROUND PLENTY BIG ENOUGH, JUST ABOUT A HALF MILE PAST THAT. THE STATE IS TRYING TO CO-OPERATE BY SAYING THAT YOU MAY COME OUT THAT FAR, BUT PULL WAY OFF THE ROAD BEFORE LEAVING YOUR RIG. THIS IS SO THE GUYS THAT HAVE TO WORK AND THE PLOW, CAN STILL GET AROUND YOU. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THERE IS ABOUT 3 FEET RIGHT AROUND THERE.
AGAIN, MORE SNOW IN THE HILLS, OF COURSE.
STILL SNOWING HEAVILY, AT THIS TIME.
HAVE FUN,
KATHIE WHITE
