Unalaska, AK – Some city services are shut down on account of today's blizzard conditions in Unalaska. The Department of Parks, Culture and Recreation is closed this afternoon, as is the landfill, and the city's non-essential personnel were sent home early. The Unalaska School District has cancelled after-school activities as well.

The Public Safety Department has issued a Category 2 travel advisory, which means that you shouldn't travel unless absolutely necessary. Whiteout conditions have made travel around town difficult so far this afternoon.

Public Safety Lt. Jamie Sunderland says that so far no accidents have been reported, although some vehicles have gotten stuck in the snow. He encourages drivers to remember to use their headlights during the day when visibility is this bad.

Public Works Director Dan Winters says his department hasn't run into any serious problems dealing with the conditions yet. The Coast Guard says that no marine casualties have been reported. Some Dutch Harbor-based processors had to temporarily stop crab deliveries on account of the wind this afternoon.

Peak wind speeds were clocked at 62 miles an hour at the airport weather station shortly after noon.
