Winter Storm in Eastern Baranof Island and Southern Admiralty Island, Alaska

Angoon had wet snow through the morning of 2/19, but higher elevations had significant snowfall. Hidden Falls on the back side of Baranof Island measured 4 inches new snow on the afternoon of 2/19 and another inch on 2/20. No other observations were available.

All of SE Alaska was in cold air with the arctic front offshore on 2/18. A moderate gale center moved into the western Gulf of Alaska, which was just enough to cause the front to move over the Panhandle for heavy snow on the night of the 18th into the afternoon of the 20th.
