Winter Storm in Southern Inner Channels, Alaska

Winter Storm March 2, 2017 – March 3, 2017 · Southern Inner Channels, Alaska

What the National Weather Service wrote

The north part of Ketchikan measured 8.9 inches of new snow during this storm and was not warned. Impact was snow removal.

The wider storm

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.
