Winds reaching 35 to 40 mph caused blowing snow that reduced the visibility around Cape Ramonzof to near zero.  These strong winds were a result of a locally tight surface pressure gradient that existed between a stationary front over the Lower Yukon Delta, and a strong high pressure ridge over the Bering Sea.

A wave of low pressure formed along a stationary front near Livengood helping to produce locally heavy snowfall.  Cold air wrapping around the surface low helped intensify snowfall amounts as it mixed with relatively warmer, moist air from the southwest.  The heavy snow was very localized around the Livengood area as the low along the front in that area dissipated fairly quickly over a 12-18 hour period.

A building high pressure center over the Beaufort Sea helped create strong easterly winds along the Central Beaufort Sea Coast.  Winds reached 45 mph at Deadhorse creating blowing snow that reduced the visibility to less that 1/4 mile for 5 hours before the winds diminished.

Blizzard in CENTRAL BEAUFORT SEA COAST, ALASKA

A 981mb low over the Bering Sea, coupled with strong high pressure ridging along the Bering Sea Coast produced blizzard conditions at Tin CIty. Winds of 35 to 45 mph caused blowing snow  that significantly reducing local visibility to near zero.  These conditions subsided for a day as the low began to fill and drift southward.  This system however re-intensified again as the low deepened to 970mb and began to move northward across the Bering Sea.  High pressure ridging remained in place helping to intensify the surface gradient as the low tracked north.  As a result, blizzard conditions at Tin City occurred for a second time in association with the same surface features.

Strong winds along the Central Beaufort Sea Coast developed as a high over the Beaufort Sea strengthened to 1042mb and an occluded front pushed north of the Brooks Range.  The resulting strong easterly pressure gradient between these two systems produced wind gusts of 58 mph at the Deadhorse ASOS site.

A strong low pressure system and associated occluded front over the northern Gulf of Alaska moved north resulting in a significant pressure gradient over the  Alaska Range.   This gradient, coupled with the channeling affects in the narrow passes of the mountains resulted in very strong winds in these channeled areas.  Wind gusts to 67mph were recorded by the weather observer in Healy with gusts estimated up to up 63 mph along the eastern slopes of the Alaska Range.

As a warm front approached and passed from the south, an area of freezing rain developed over the Western Tanana Valley.  Warm, moist air associated with this front was forced aloft over the underlying frozen surface.  Rain developed aloft as temperatures rose above the freezing mark in a narrow layer of the lower atmosphere.  Rainfall around the warm front reached the ground where it froze on contact creating sheets of ice on exposed surfaces.  A tenth of water equivalent was measured near the Tanana ASOS before the rain ended.

A 978mb low and associated occluded front moved north from Bristol Bay through the Yukon Delta before dissipating along the Western Arctic Coast.  During the same time period a 1036mb high over Siberia slowly drifted eastward to the Central Arctic Ocean.  As the low moved north towards the opposing high, a strong pressure gradient between these two systems developed resulting in very strong winds across western Alaska and portions of the Central Beaufort Sea Coast.  Moisture brought north with the low pressure center and frontal boundary developed into widespread snowfall, locally heavy.  This snowfall, combined with the strong winds, resulted in blizzard conditions in blowing snow.  Gambell, Tin City, Kivalina, Point Lay, Nuiqsut, Deadhorse, and Cape Romanzof automated weather systems all reported visibilities of less than 1/4 mile. Heavy snow was reported by the  Kaltag Co-Op observing site where 6 inches of new snow fell over a 24 hour period. High Winds occurred at:Zone 203: Deadhorse ASOS - gust 58 mph.Zone 213: Tin City AWOS - gust 64 mph; Gambell AWOS gust 66 mph.

A major winter storm impacted southern New England with heavy snow and strong winds as it tracked southeast of Nantucket.  Snowfall totals of 10 to 20 inches were widely observed in Cheshire and Hillsborough counties, though amounts tapered off to as little as 5 to 8 inches in the northwest third of Cheshire County which was farther removed from the storm's influence.  No significant damage was reported due to the storm, primarily since the snow was fluffy and light with temperatures in the teens and 20s.  Impact on travel was minimal, since the storm affected the region on Presidents Day and most schools were closed that week.  However, there were numerous reports of minor accidents as a result of slippery roads.  No injuries were reported.  Some specific snowfall totals, as reported by trained spotters, included 22 inches in Merrimack; 21 inches in Manchester and Peterborough; 20 inches in Jaffrey and Milford; 18 inches in Nashua; 17 inches in Greenfield; 13 inches in Weare; 8 inches in Swanzey; and 6 inches in Marlow.

Snow and strong winds developed along the Bering Sea Coast in response to a low pressure center over Western Norton Sound and a  1036mb high pressure center over Eastern Siberia.   The resulted gradient between these two systems was sufficient enough to produce wind gusts up to 50 mph at Tin City.  These strong winds, combined with the snowfall around the surface low, resulted in a visibility reduction at TIn City to less that 1/4 mile for an extended period.
