Uploaded by: katy99780 — Saturday September 15, 2012 — Tok, AK (Current Weather Conditions)

Lately whenever Anchorage is getting hammered by these unusually hard, unusually early winter storms, we show these beautiful orographic formations in the sky. Created by windy conditions over the Mentasta Mountains, we have been seeing the edge of their powerful storm systems here in Tok. Hang in there Anchorage!

Thanks for checking out my cloud Skyzics, Diti, Liz, Budsgirl, Ed, Dave, Jeff and Calpoppy!

I get a thrill when I see clouds like this, so I have to remind myself that it is an indication of pretty rough weather for folks south of me.

Hi Mindi, yes for their sake I hope the robins get out soon.

I love these kinds of clouds, they are awesome to watch, always undulating.

About katy99780
katy99780 I've lived in Alaska since 1969. I really love this wild land. The extremes of the far north shape and affect every living thing. Extremes of weather, elevation, daylight hours, isolation, flora and fauna, nothing in Nature is insignificant.I have a Davis Vantage Pro weather station, uploading to Wunderground, (Turks on the Tundra) the National Weather Service, the Citizen Weather Observation Program and MADIS (Meteorological Assimilation Data Ingest System).
