Blizzard in Kuskokwim Delta Coast and Nunivak Island, Alaska

The Toksook ASOS (PAOO) recorded an extended period of blizzard conditions (1/4 statute mile visibility or less, gusty winds, and blowing snow) from 1:25 AM to 12:00 PM AKST February 10.

A storm force low moved into the Bering on February 8. This low brought strong southeasterly winds to the Central Aleutians including Adak and Atka, which become more westerly by the afternoon. The strongest winds were observed during this time. Once the front pushed onshore by February 10, blizzard conditions were observed in the Kuskokwim Delta Coast for a time. Once the low approached the mainland, another period of blizzard conditions were observed in the Kuskokwim Delta on February 12.
