About Plow Now AK

Storms off Turnagain Arm can turn an ordinary afternoon into six inches of blowing snow inside two hours, the wind funneling up the Arm and slamming into the south side of town before most people have checked the forecast. Plow Now AK is built around that timing — trucks staged and ready so a lot can be opened again while the storm is still working its way north toward Eagle River. A commercial entrance blocked at 2 p.m. is a real problem for a business open until nine, so the run is back through before dark, blade down, headlights catching snow still coming sideways off the inlet. Residential runs follow once the wind lays down, driveways and walks cleared block by block rather than all at once. Reading an Anchorage storm off the Arm — when it's going to hit, how long it holds, when it's safe to send a truck back out — is most of what this business actually runs on.
