Winter Storm in Salisbury Sound To Cape Fairweather Coastal Area, Alaska

The storm total was 8.2 inches new snowfall. The rate was heavy during the first 6 hours. Snow removal was the issue for Pelican. No reports from Elfin Cove.

Arctic high pressure persisted over the Yukon on the night of 3/1 as a storm force low moved northward into the eastern Gulf of Alaska. This set up warm moist air overrunning the colder air at the surface causing heavy snowfall to the Northern Panhandle almost immediately following a previous snow dump 2/28-3/1. No damage was reported, but again the impact was snow removal on top of a large snowpack.
