Good afternoon Kodiak. We have up to a foot of snow in the forecast later this week. Please be ready to remove snow from your vessels as it starts piling up. Harbor staff will be working hard to keep the floats clear and maintain access for owners. We will continue making notifications as necessary throughout the week. May the odds be ever in your favor.
