Snow is expected to be the primary type of precipitation

amounts if the precipitation changes over to rain. Rain on
snow-covered roads and cold surface temperatures will likely
lead to slick conditions. For Glennallen north, expect snow
with the highest amounts along the northern Copper River
Basin, including Paxson.
