The wider storm

A low pressure system moved northward from the Gulf of Alaska towards Bristol Bay. This brought a large amount of warm air into the region. Preceding conditions across Southwest Alaska were well below freezing. The warm air aloft allowed the precipitation in the area to fall as rain, which froze instantly upon hitting the ground.
