The wider storm

An intense storm moved into the Bering Sea on the 18th. High wind in advance of this storm blew through portions of the Aleutians, then moved to the Bristol Bay Coast and eventually hit the south central portion of Alaska on the 20th. The strong southeast flow pushed ample moisture into the Alaska Range dumping 14 inches of snow in that region on the 20th.
