| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Strong high pressure over the Arctic Ocean moved east to northwest Canada while a low pressure center moved north over the eastern Bering Sea. The combination caused a strong pressure gradient over northern Alaska with locally strong easterly winds. Blizzard conditions in blowing snow developed over portions of the North Slope, along with extreme wind chills due to a presistent colder airmass over this region. Strong Chinook winds developed over the Alaska Range during this event.
