A strong low pressure system in the Gulf of Alaska brings Taku winds to Juneau ahead of the storm, and widespread winds and snow across Southeast Alaska. Heavy snow transitioned to rain across much of the area. This along with antecedent snowfall created roof load issues across the are with structural collapses in Juneau and Yakutat.
