Depends on where in Alaska you live. I was a kid/early teen in the Southeast panhandle and winters were not bad at all. It was cold, but not that bad. This stuff coming up is much worse that what we got on the coast.
In Frederick at work and we have had on and off heavy rain since around 8:30AM. At least 5 rumbles of thunder as well. Very nice over perform from the showers forecasted.
My eyes might be playing tricks on me, but I think I see a gust front on the radar in the last couple of frames. Fingers crossed it triggers some more storms.
