2 to 6 inches and ice accumulations of up to one tenth of an
inch, highest amounts from around Willow to Houston.

Warmer air aloft moving over the region is expected to change
the snow to a wintry mix of snow and freezing rain sometime
around noon Thursday. The wintry mix may then change back to all
snow by late Thursday evening before tapering off early Friday
morning. This is a complex setup. The amount of snow and ice
accumulation will be depend on the extent of warm air aloft.
Higher snow totals and less ice accumulation are likely if
colder air remains in place over the region. The highest snow
and ice amounts are expected from Willow to Houston, with lesser
amounts toward Talkeetna and areas north and west.
