Heavy snow occurred along the Haines Road above an elevation of about 500 ft. A storm total of 15 inches was measured at the Customs Station.

The wider storm

Isolated pockets of cold air were maintained by drainage winds from British Columbia in both the Chilkat River Valley (near Haines) and the Portland Canal area (near Hyder), and the overrunning of warm maritime air caused locally heavy snow to occur.
