Snag is a village located on a small, dry-weather sideroad off the Alaska Highway, {{convert|25|km|mi}} east of Beaver Creek, Yukon, Canada. The village of Snag is located in a bowl-shaped valley of the White River and its tributaries, including Snag Creek. It was first settled during the Klondike Gold Rush. An aboriginal village was also located approximately {{convert|8|km|mi|0}} away. It was the site of a military airfield, established as part of the Northwest Staging Route, which closed in 1968. In 1947, the village of Snag boasted a population of eight to ten First Nation people and fur traders. An additional staff of fifteen to twenty airport personnel — meteorologists, radio operators, aircraft maintenance men — lived at the airport barracks.

Record temperature and climate data

On February 3, 1947, the record-low temperature for continental North America was recorded in Snag: {{convert|-63.0|°C|°F|lk=on}}.[1] That same winter, two previous records had already been set: one in December noted various phenomena, particularly sound such as voices being heard clearly miles from their source. There was a clear sky (except for some ice fog), and mild to little wind. There were {{convert|38.1|cm|in}} of snow on the ground, but it was decreasing. Another town {{convert|180|km|mi|0|abbr=on}} northeast of Snag, Fort Selkirk, claimed an even lower temperature of {{convert|-65|°C|°F|lk=on}}, but the claim could not be confirmed.[2]

Disappearance of aircraft

{{main|1950 Douglas C-54D-1-DC disappearance}}

On January 26, 1950, a Douglas C-54 Skymaster (tail number 42-72469) of the United States Air Force, with 34 service personnel, 2 civilians and a crew of 8, disappeared on a flight from Alaska to Montana. It was in the vicinity of Snag when last contact was made by radio at 17:09.[3] No wreckage or remains have ever been located.[4]
