The wider storm

A strong low pressure system moved up from the North Pacific past Kodiak Island and into the Kenai Peninsula on 2/5, with very strong winds over the Gulf spreading into parts of Bristol Bay and the Kenai Peninsula. These winds combined with light snow to produce areas of blowing snow and visibility reduced down to less than a mile for several hours in a few spots, including Portage Valley, King Salmon and New Stuyahok.
