A really strong storm developed in the southern Gulf of Alaska on the afternoon of 12/1 down to 968 MB. Not only did this bring a slug of warm air to the Panhandle but also strong pressure gradients for a lot of windy places. By Friday morning 12/2 this monster deepened to 962 MB off Cape Decision then went inland that night through Icy Strait which is a windy track for any storm. By Saturday morning 12/3 the remnants of the storm reestablished the arctic front over Lynn Canal for a bunch of snow in the north. Miraculously damage was limited to downed trees, power outages, and transportation disruptions.
