Today is the day Elise's mom and niece are supposed to leave. I think it will happen, but the weather has been swinging between extremes. They definitely will not make the planned connection in Juneau. At this point, I'm not sure they'll make it back to Portland today. They can get as far as Seattle. The other option is for them to try to get seats on the later, southbound flight and take a chance that this flight will make it in and out.
The morning started out with falling and accumulating snow. Then around mid-morning it swung to almost partly cloudy skies with bright sunshine. Then the snow would start again, the clouds and fog would roll in, the wind kicks in, and turns into an almost blizzard-like condition. Then a few minutes later, all that would be gone and the sun comes back.
Looking at the Alaska Air site, it looks like the plane is probably in Wrangell, as the pilot and ground crew try to make a decision on whether or not to continue on to Petersburg, and if so, when.
