The National Weather Service has posted a Winter Weather Advisory for the Borough of Stone Harbor for the potential of 1-3 inches of snow on Tuesday, January 6th. The snow is expected to be a result of an Alberta Clipper storm that will spread snow across our region during the morning hours into the early afternoon. Please give yourself extra time while driving and use extra caution while driving as well. This is not expected to be a significant snow event for our area.
