Heavy Snow in Kenai Peninsula, Alaska

Spotter in Homer reported approximately 8 inches of new snow.

A rather stagnant was in place for the last couple days of November over the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands. Arctic air remained entrenched over the Bering including the Eastern Aleutians. This pattern would keep the Arctic air in place with the same northerly flow throughout this time frame. However, a storm system moved northward from the North Pacific met up with this Arctic air and resulted in hazardous weather conditions (snow and blowing snow/blizzard conditions) especially for the Eastern Aleutians. The effects didn't end here though as the system spread northeastward and impacted portions of Southcentral Alaska as well.
