What October feels like
October is the off-est month here — the entrance area is closed up, the road is open only for the first few miles, and Healy is back to being a small town in winter. Come self-sufficient; the nearest reliable groceries are a long drive.
Winter is doing its thing: 9.4 in of snow in a typical October, with fresh snow on about 8 days. Nearly every night dips below freezing.
