(1) As measured on Front Lawn at around 20:30, rounded to the nearest inch if there is uncertainty.
March 2: Precip: There is much uncertainty as to what the Precipitation was because the blowing and drifting snow
up until 9 AM prevented capturing most of the snow (whatever amount it was) in the Rain Collector.
Snowfall: There is much uncertainty as to what the Snowfall was because of the blowing and drifting snow
up until 9 AM. If anything, I'm probably on the high side with the 4.7".

- The Alaska Department of Transportation & Public
Facilities (ADOT&PF) is selling the M/V
Taku through a sealed bid sale. The minimum
bid price is $1.5 million and interested
bidders must have a bid bond of $5,000. The
complete bid package is available on the
state’s Online Public Notice website. ADOT&PF is selling
the vessel “As Is/Where Is” to the highest
bidder. The sale process involved getting
Federal Highway Administration approval since
federal funding was used to maintain
the vessel over its lifespan. Last month, ADOT&PF initiated proceedings
to transfer ownership of the M/V Taku by
offering it to other state agencies or municipalities. No
public entity expressed an interest in assuming
ownership of the M/V Taku. Interested bidders
have 60 days to submit bids, inspect the vessel if desired, and arrange
financing if necessary. Sealed bids
must be submitted by 3:00 p.m. Alaska Standard
Time, on May 9, 2017. The vessel is currently
at a mooring facility in Ward Cove in Ketchikan,
Alaska. The M/V Taku was determined to be excess
to the needs of the state for ferry vessels
and outside the realm of what the state can
afford to maintain and operate in passenger
service with available funding. The vessel
was constructed in 1963 and faithfully operated
as a part of the Alaska Marine Highway System
for over 50 years. The M/V Taku was taken
out of service on June 23, 2015.

- NWS Summary of February 2017 Weather in Southeast
Alaska:
...For February, warm and wet mid month, then Winter storms at the
very end...
Very little action weather-wise for much of February...except for
the middle of the month and then again at the very end of the month.
Daily average temperatures trended down during the first week of the
month and were generally below normal by the end of the week. A
significant and abrupt increase in temperatures then
occurred on the 10th of the month. Warmer than normal conditions
persisted through the 16th of February. At that time and for the
remainder of the month, daily average temperatures hovered at or
slightly below normal.
The first week of the month was also very dry. Precipitation
returned along with the warmer than normal temperatures on or
around the 10th of the month and was primarily in the form of rain
for central and southern locations. Yakutat, however, experienced
significant snowfall from the 8th through the 12th, and then again
from the 16th to the 18th. Not much snow fell after that time, but
enough did fall around the middle of the month that Yakutat actually
finished the month with slightly above normal accumulated snow. The
same can not be said for Juneau, which finished the month with only
4.1 inches of snow for the month instead of a more normal 16.8
inches. Annette remained on track for another record low snowfall
month until the very end of the month, when 7 inches fell on
February 28th and pushed that station above normal by over 2 inches
for the month. Major and ongoing winter storms heralded the end of
the month which lasted into the beginning of March.
High winds also affected the Panhandle from the 11th through the
14th of the month.
