Thanks to the massive snowfall and heavy ice buildup this winter, the Alaska Dept. of Public Safety has issued an “emergency order” extending the legal deadline to remove studded tires. Issued on April 5, the order aims to give drivers a couple of extra weeks to utilize studded tires while heavy snow and ice melts from the roadways.
“Much of Alaska is experiencing prolonged winter weather after a heavy snow winter that has extended the ice season well into April,” said Public Safety Commissioner Jim Cockrell. “This 15-day extension for the studded tire removal deadline will provide additional time to switch to regular tires without compromising safety.”
Alaskans living below the 60 North Latitude line, including Southeast, the Aleutian Chain, Southwest Alaska, Southern Kenai Peninsula, and Kodiak, may use studded tires on Alaska roadways until May 1.
Alaskans living above the 60 North Latitude line, which includes Anchorage, the Mat-Su and all portions of the Sterling Highway, may use studded tires on Alaska roadways until May 15.
Latitude 60 crosses Alaska from east to west, just south of Prince William Sound, Seward, and Chefornak.
A copy of the emergency order can be found here.
Some municipalities or boroughs may have their own regulations surrounding studded tires in their jurisdiction.

Thank you for this article. I’ve been thinking about just this. Now we all know.
Danged Global Warming hits again..
There’s probably enough soap in the snow to wash your clothes with. Wonder if people will be able to plant in time this year to have crops/veggies?
Totally off topic, but was McCabe thinking that he was going to use old oil/gas sites for the CO2 storage that he suggested? Ran across this article about C02 storage and they talk about seismic activity. Need to read this when my mind is fresh. https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.1202473109 Started looking for articles after listening to Dr. Lee Merritt talking with Tammy Kobza and they were talking about a recent explosion in Colorado at one of the Carbon Capture facilities and how the high volume of C02 was displacing oxygen. Serious stuff! Who wants to be near one during a big earthquake? https://www.brighteon.com/9641031d-2fb3-4969-9bb1-b3bd1216c404 I still say that McCabe needs to quit thinking about this globalist crap.
Here’s a video for Kevin McCabe and all his greenie buddies to watch. This will be our future if you guys don’t pull it together and start working for humanity. Shoot, I do not think that they’d have us living for that long in those camps, but it is just a movie.
