SilverSalmonAK<p>Herring are spawning 3 miles up Halibut Point Road. They are kicking off in other areas also, particularly by Kasiana Island. Lots &amp; lots of herring this year! <a href="https://alaskan.social/tags/Sitka" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Sitka</span></a> <a href="https://alaskan.social/tags/Alaska" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Alaska</span></a> <a href="https://alaskan.social/tags/HerringSeason" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HerringSeason</span></a></p>

SilverSalmonAK<p>6:00AM: 31F, partly cloudy.</p><p>Looks like a good weekend for walking ahead. Rain (with the ever-present "chance" of snow) returns early in the week.</p><p>In other news, Sitka is without its main internet provider, GCI, as emergency subsea cable fixin' is happening for about 10 days. Last August, the Internet was down for 3 weeks.</p><p>It's quiet at the office, since ...no internet.</p><p><a href="https://alaskan.social/tags/MyAlaskaWx" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MyAlaskaWx</span></a> <a href="https://alaskan.social/tags/akwx" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>akwx</span></a> <a href="https://alaskan.social/tags/Sitka" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Sitka</span></a> <a href="https://alaskan.social/tags/Alaska" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Alaska</span></a></p>
SilverSalmonAK<p>5:45AM: 40F, fairly heavy rain at the moment.</p><p>NWS says light rain, but it's really coming down up here at the Russian Cemetery!</p><p>We'll have rain/snow showers for the next few days then clearing skies and sun for midweek. Which means, of course, colder temps. 30F for a low Tuesday night. </p><p>The spring dance may have begun, but Winter is still hanging around the edges of the gym, looking tough, and spiking the punch.</p><p><a href="https://alaskan.social/tags/MyAlaskaWx" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MyAlaskaWx</span></a> <a href="https://alaskan.social/tags/akwx" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>akwx</span></a> <a href="https://alaskan.social/tags/Sitka" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Sitka</span></a> <a href="https://alaskan.social/tags/Alaska" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Alaska</span></a></p>
SilverSalmonAK<p>6:30AM: 43F, another "are we on the misty moors now?" morning.</p><p>In other words, lots of fog.</p><p>Clouds today, the sun peeks through Mon/Tues, then we're back to rain. The NWS says, quite emphatically, "rain and snow" for Friday, so again...we'll see!</p><p>Trees and bushes are budding and spring is in the air. I can't help but be a snow-doubter.</p><p><a href="https://alaskan.social/tags/MyAlaskaWx" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MyAlaskaWx</span></a> <a href="https://alaskan.social/tags/akwx" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>akwx</span></a> <a href="https://alaskan.social/tags/Sitka" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Sitka</span></a> <a href="https://alaskan.social/tags/Alaska" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Alaska</span></a></p>
SilverSalmonAK<p>6:30AM: 42F, light rain. </p><p>We went to the Fiddle Grind last night (the Grinds have a long and storied history during the winter months - I'll write that up sometime.) It's basically a themed variety show with desserts once a month in winter.</p><p>When we drove home (still too icy to walk in places) the temp was 43 and my car was SPLASHING THROUGH PUDDLES OF WATER!!!</p><p>Yes, that info is worthy of a shout! </p><p>Our deepfreeze is finally on its way out.</p><p><a href="https://alaskan.social/tags/MyAlaskaWx" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MyAlaskaWx</span></a> <a href="https://alaskan.social/tags/akwx" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>akwx</span></a> <a href="https://alaskan.social/tags/Sitka" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Sitka</span></a> <a href="https://alaskan.social/tags/Alaska" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Alaska</span></a></p>

SilverSalmonAK<p>5:45AM: 31F, fair.</p><p>The weather map graphic on the NWS website shows no colors: ie. no warnings about anything here in the SE. Pale blue ocean and pale green land. </p><p>Therefore I was shocked to see after a day of sun, in a bit of weather whiplash, an 80% chance of snow tonight.</p><p>Tricky, tricky, weather.</p><p><a href="https://alaskan.social/tags/MyAlaskaWx" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MyAlaskaWx</span></a> <a href="https://alaskan.social/tags/akwx" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>akwx</span></a> <a href="https://alaskan.social/tags/Sitka" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Sitka</span></a> <a href="https://alaskan.social/tags/Alaska" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Alaska</span></a></p>

We are however truncating the trip to restrict spending our hard-earned to Canada. (Will have to metaphorically 'hold our noses' in Alaska right enough.)</p>

SilverSalmonAK<p>A seiner out of Sitka, the Wind Walker, capsized yesterday a few minutes after midnight, in a particularly dangerous spot between Juneau and Hoonah. It's assumed there were 5 on board. </p><p>The search is ongoing in ongoing shitty weather. Empty survival suits as well as an empty raft have been found. </p><p>We all know how this will end. 💔 </p><p>Those searching: CG SE Alaska, CG Air Station Sitka, CG Station Juneau.
