Did you see the termination dust on the mountains this morning? ❄️
It’s an Alaskan phrase for the first snow that signals the end of summer — like “the first frost of fall.”

Low clouds mix with trees sporting autumn colors as high clearing clouds reveal a steep mountain covered in snow with a sharp line where the snow accumulated and where the moisture fell as rain.
Mid September, interior Alaska. 2019.
“Termination Dust”: As the snow first appears on the mountaintops and moves down in elevation as autumn progresses.

Termination Dust (Early Snow) at Hatcher Pass, Palmer Alaska.
Alaskans call this termination dust because it signals the termination of construction projects in about two weeks.

Landscape with mountains in background, snowy at the top. The trees are turning golden. A lake is reflecting the mountain and sky.
This beautiful autumn makes it a little easier to accept the approaching Alaskan winter. (Take your time, #terminationdust.)
