A low pressure center moved north
across the western Alaska peninsula and
the associated weather front moved
north over the Alaska Range resulting
in strong winds through Isabel Pass on
the Richardson Highway. Blizzard con-
ditions, reported by a motorist, were
reported during the night of the 9th in
the pass, as the front was approaching
and temperatures were remaining cold
enough to allow to blowing and drifting
snow. temperatures steadily warmed
overnight though a lesser restriction
in blowing snow was noted by the State

report the morning of the 10th. The
occlusion also created heavy snow as
reported
Another area where strong wind and a
likely blizzard occurred was around
Cape Romanzof, which was near to where
the low pressure center tracked once it
crossed the western Alaska Peninsula.
The occlusion also produced heavy snow
over the western interior of Alaska, as

The "Election Day" storm originated as
a large Bering Sea storm. This system
produced a strong pressure gradient as
it moved toward the Gulf Coast of
Alaska. It intensified as it moved
through the Eastern Aleutians and
approached the Bristol Bay coastline.
As the low center moved over the Cook
Inlet region, it split. The main center
continued northeast while the residual
center moved into Prince William Sound.
The strong gradient in advance of the
front along the North Gulf Coast
produced blizzard conditions in
Southeast Prince William Sound and
Thompson Pass. The strong pressure
gradient and cold advection that
occurred around the back side of this
storm resulted in areas of blowing snow
and blizzard conditions along the
Bering Sea coast. The collision of the
cold air over the South Central Region,
with the strong moist advection from
the Gulf of Alaska, resulted in the
heavy snow along the Alaska Range.
Significant snow fell elsewhere in
South Central Alaska.
Highlights of this storm include:
Warning level winds occurred across the
Alaska Peninsula, the southern portion
of Kodiak Island, the Anchorage Hill-
side and Turnagain Arm. Blizzard condi-
tions occurred over the Bristol Bay
coast, the Kuskokwim Delta, in South-
east Prince William Sound and in
Northeast Prince William Sound at
Thompson Pass. Heavy snow occurred
along the Alaska Range in the Susitna
Valley, in the Talkeetna Mountains of
the Copper River Basin, and Northeast
Prince William Sound at Thompson Pass.
Wind advisory conditions occurred
across the Aleutian Chain, the Pribilof
Islands, the Matanuska Valley and the
Kenai Peninsula. Advisory level snow
fell across the Kenai Peninsula, the
Anchorage area, the Matanuska Valley,
the Kuskokwim Valley and Bristol Bay.

A strong low over the Alaska Peninsula
had a front extending from it across
Bristol Bay to southern Prince William
Sound. The strong push of moisture into
south central Alaska resulted in heavy
snow along the Alaska Range with accu-
mulations ranging from 8 to 25 inches.
The strong pressure gradient produced
high winds along the Chugach mountains.
The strong wind with moderate snowfall
in Thompson Pass resulted in a blizzard
through the pass Tuesday afternoon
through Wednesday morning. This strong
gradient also resulted in the typical
high winds along the upper hillside of
Anchorage and along Turnagain Arm.
Winds peaked at 76 mph at Glenn Alps
before the sensor quit reporting peak
winds, and peaked at 85 mph at McHugh
Creek along Turnagain Arm.

of the November 18th. The low center
deepened as it moved north northeast to
about 75 miles east of Saint Paul on
the morning of the 19th. The low center
continued north, passing between
Nunivak Island and St. Matthew Island
during the evening of the 19th. The
associated weather front moved across
the Alaska Peninsula into the South-
central Region on the morning of the
19th. Strong southeasterly winds
resulted in Turnagain Arm, the
Anchorage Hillside and Portage Valley.
A west to southwest fetch across the
Bering Sea, combined with high astrono-
mical tide, resulted in coastal
flooding across the west coast of the
state.

A storm developed south of the central
Aleutian Islands. The storm moved
northeast then northward as it passed
into the Bering Sea around 6:00 PM AST
on the 26th. The low center continued
to intensify as it moved between
Nunivak Island and St. Matthew Island.
A strong pressure gradient ahead of the
associated weather front resulted in
high winds through, and west of, the
Chugach Mountains. Several downed trees
were reported on the Anchorage
Hillside; some downed trees damaged
homes in the city. This storm was asso-
ciated with a pronounced southerly
fetch which brought warm moist air into
the Southcentral Region. Rain fell
throughout much of Southcentral except
in the northern zones where orographi-
cally enhanced snowfall rates left
several feet of wet snow over the
Northern Susitna Valley. Some residents
reported snowfall rates of upwards of 3
to 4 inches per hour on the 27th and

California from the north with heavy
snow, widespread thunderstorms, and
gusty winds. The storm first struck the
high desert areas of the Apple and
Yucca Valleys bringing with it heavy
thundersnow and strong north winds. The

A massive rockslide punched van-size
holes in the decking of Interstate 70
near the Hanging Lake exit ramp, about
8 miles east of Glenwood Springs. The
highway was closed in both directions
all day on Thanksgiving Day, sending
holiday travelers on a 220 mile detour
to get through the mountains. The slide
zone covered a stretch of Interstate 70
about 100 feet in length and 10 feet
deep. According to the Colorado
Department of Transportation, two
bridges received holes in their decking
on eastbound I-70. About six boulders
were embedded up to eight feet into the
roadway. The rocks fell from about
1,300 feet above the highway, leaving
gaping holes up to 25 feet wide and 10
feet long in the westbound lanes.
Cracks in the highway were also
visible, stretching up to 20 feet from
the edge of the mammoth holes. Some
boulders had to be blasted apart before
front-end loaders could remove them
from the highway. One eastbound and one
westbound lane were opened the
following day. At a construction cost
of 1.4 million dollars, repairs were
expected to take several months. There
were no injuries, mainly due to the
fact that the interstate highway in
that area just happened to be closed
when the rockslide occurred. CDOT crews
were still cleaning up after a semi
hauling beer overturned the previous
evening, less than a mile away from
where the rockslide occurred.

A strong area of low pressure tracked
into the Ohio River Valley from the
southern Plains on the 24th. This
storm brought a combination of heavy
snow, high winds and heavy rain to
central Illinois. The precipitation
began as rain in the morning, but
quickly changed to wet snow across
much of the region. The snow became
heavy at times by midday as isolated
bands of thunder snow developed. 4 to
6 inch snow totals were common across
much of west central Illinois by the
time the snow ended in the evening,
with localized 7 to 8 inch
accumulations noted across portions of
Tazewell, Woodford, and McLean
counties. Sustained winds of 20 to 30
mph with gusts to 40 to 50 mph caused
considerable blowing and drifting of
the snow in west central Illinois. In
addition, the high winds and the
weight of the wet snow downed numerous
trees and power lines. One fatality
(indirect) each was reported in
McLean, Peoria and Tazewell counties
as a result of traffic accidents.
Numerous injuries (indirect) were
reported as a result of traffic
accidents. Four injuries (direct)
occurred at the Howlett Building in
downtown Springfield (Sangamon County)
when a portion of the roof collapsed
under the weight of the wet snow.

ILZ016-034>035 Henry--Hancock--Mcdonough
24 1345CST
1730CST
The first winter storm of the season
struck the day before Thanksgiving
causing significant travel problems.
The precipitation began as rain in the
pre-dawn hours across Northeast
Missouri, Southeast Iowa, and West
Central Illinois due to above freezing
temperatures. A combination of
evaporative/dynamic cooling from the
rapidly deepening low allowed a change
over to all snow between sunrise and
0900 CST with a brief (generally an
hour or less) period of sleet.
Mesoscale bands of heavy snow then
developed through the morning and
afternoon hours with some observing
sites reporting thunder or distant
lightning. Snowfall rates in the bands
were 1-2 inches per hour which allowed
accumulation in spite of ground
temperatures in the upper 30s to
middle 40s. This resulted in numerous
traffic accidents.
Based on a combination of spotter
and co-op reports, McDonough County
received 6-7 inches of snow
county-wide with the southeast half of
Hancock County receiving around 6
inches. Due to an extremely sharp
cutoff and mesoscale banding, only the
southern parts of Henry County
received 6-7 inches of snow. It is
highly likely that mesoscale banding
produced a 6 inch snowfall within 12
hours across extreme southern or
southeast Warren county. However, no
collaborative proof in the form of
reports from spotters or co-operative
observers were received.

National Weather Service Meteorologist
made a few trips to the damage areas
across Autauga, Chilton and Coosa
Counties. The damage was consistent
with a very large tornado with a long
damage path. The tornado damage was
rated an F2, but the strength of the
tornado may have been stronger but the
tornado affected mostly rural areas.
The F2 tornado first touched down
between Jones and Bethel Grove
generally producing only tree damage
until it reached the county line. The
tornado then traveled on a northeast

between Pletcher and Billingsley. The
tornado was fairly weak at this time,
blowing down and snapping off several
large trees in rural areas. As the
tornado approached the west side of
Interstate 65, the tornado increased to
F2 intensity and caused considerable
damage to several structures.
Continuing northeast, the tornado
weakened a bit as it crossed Interstate
65 in the vicinity of mile marker 202,
approximately 3 miles south of the
Clanton Exit. The tornado was still
strong enough at this time to down
several large trees and block the
northbound lanes of traffic. After
crossing the interstate, the tornado
regained F2 intensity moving through
the Cooper Community. The tornado
produced extensive structural damage in
Cooper. Several homes, businesses,
mobile homes and out-buildings were
damaged or destroyed. Hundreds of trees
were blown down or snapped off in this
area. The tornado moved across eastern
Chilton County and went across Lake
Mitchell. At Lake Mitchell, on the
Chilton/Coosa County Line, numerous
homes and mobile homes were destroyed
generally between Blue Creek and Cargle

Mitchell and moved into the Coosa
Wildlife Management Area along Hatchet
Creek. Hundreds of trees were
splintered in this area. The tornado
then moved through rural Coosa County
crossing US 231 just south of the
Hanover Community. The tornado
dissipated shortly after US 231. The
tornado damage path was 49.1 miles long
and an astounding 1400 yards wide at

the associated weather front moved
north over the Alaska Range resulting
in strong winds through Isabel Pass on
the Richardson Highway. Blizzard con-
ditions, reported by a motorist, were
reported during the night of the 9th in

Another area where strong wind and a
likely blizzard occurred was around
Cape Romanzof, which was near to where
the low pressure center tracked once it

The "Election Day" storm originated as
a large Bering Sea storm. This system
produced a strong pressure gradient as
it moved toward the Gulf Coast of
Alaska. It intensified as it moved
through the Eastern Aleutians and
approached the Bristol Bay coastline.
As the low center moved over the Cook
Inlet region, it split. The main center
continued northeast while the residual
center moved into Prince William Sound.
The strong gradient in advance of the
front along the North Gulf Coast
produced blizzard conditions in
Southeast Prince William Sound and
Thompson Pass. The strong pressure
gradient and cold advection that
occurred around the back side of this
storm resulted in areas of blowing snow
and blizzard conditions along the
Bering Sea coast. The collision of the
cold air over the South Central Region,
with the strong moist advection from
the Gulf of Alaska, resulted in the
heavy snow along the Alaska Range.
Significant snow fell elsewhere in
South Central Alaska.
Highlights of this storm include:
Warning level winds occurred across the
Alaska Peninsula, the southern portion
of Kodiak Island, the Anchorage Hill-
side and Turnagain Arm. Blizzard condi-
tions occurred over the Bristol Bay
coast, the Kuskokwim Delta, in South-
east Prince William Sound and in
Northeast Prince William Sound at
Thompson Pass. Heavy snow occurred
along the Alaska Range in the Susitna
Valley, in the Talkeetna Mountains of
the Copper River Basin, and Northeast
Prince William Sound at Thompson Pass.
Wind advisory conditions occurred
across the Aleutian Chain, the Pribilof
Islands, the Matanuska Valley and the
Kenai Peninsula. Advisory level snow
fell across the Kenai Peninsula, the
Anchorage area, the Matanuska Valley,
the Kuskokwim Valley and Bristol Bay.

A strong low over the Alaska Peninsula
had a front extending from it across
Bristol Bay to southern Prince William
Sound. The strong push of moisture into
south central Alaska resulted in heavy
snow along the Alaska Range with accu-
mulations ranging from 8 to 25 inches.
The strong pressure gradient produced
high winds along the Chugach mountains.
The strong wind with moderate snowfall
in Thompson Pass resulted in a blizzard
through the pass Tuesday afternoon
through Wednesday morning. This strong
gradient also resulted in the typical
high winds along the upper hillside of
Anchorage and along Turnagain Arm.
Winds peaked at 76 mph at Glenn Alps
before the sensor quit reporting peak
winds, and peaked at 85 mph at McHugh
Creek along Turnagain Arm.

the morning of the 19th. The low center
continued north, passing between
Nunivak Island and St. Matthew Island
during the evening of the 19th. The
associated weather front moved across
the Alaska Peninsula into the South-
central Region on the morning of the
19th. Strong southeasterly winds
resulted in Turnagain Arm, the
Anchorage Hillside and Portage Valley.

high winds through, and west of, the
Chugach Mountains. Several downed trees
were reported on the Anchorage
Hillside; some downed trees damaged
homes in the city. This storm was asso-
ciated with a pronounced southerly
fetch which brought warm moist air into

throughout much of Southcentral except
in the northern zones where orographi-
cally enhanced snowfall rates left

California from the north with heavy
snow, widespread thunderstorms, and
gusty winds. The storm first struck the
high desert areas of the Apple and
Yucca Valleys bringing with it heavy
thundersnow and strong north winds. The
cold air then filtered into the inland
empire, dropping snow as low as 1000
ft. Residents woke to snow in places
like Temecula, Elsinore, and Murrieta.
In those places, snow was up to 3
inches deep. The hills surrounding
Riverside and Moreno Valley were also
coated with a blanket of snow. Snow was
so heavy in Yucaipa and Calimesa that
large tree limbs came crashing down all

A massive rockslide punched van-size
holes in the decking of Interstate 70
near the Hanging Lake exit ramp, about
8 miles east of Glenwood Springs. The
highway was closed in both directions
all day on Thanksgiving Day, sending
holiday travelers on a 220 mile detour
to get through the mountains. The slide
zone covered a stretch of Interstate 70
about 100 feet in length and 10 feet
deep. According to the Colorado
Department of Transportation, two
bridges received holes in their decking
on eastbound I-70. About six boulders
were embedded up to eight feet into the
roadway. The rocks fell from about
1,300 feet above the highway, leaving
gaping holes up to 25 feet wide and 10
feet long in the westbound lanes.
Cracks in the highway were also
visible, stretching up to 20 feet from
the edge of the mammoth holes. Some
boulders had to be blasted apart before
front-end loaders could remove them
from the highway. One eastbound and one
westbound lane were opened the
following day. At a construction cost
of 1.4 million dollars, repairs were
expected to take several months. There
were no injuries, mainly due to the
fact that the interstate highway in
that area just happened to be closed
when the rockslide occurred. CDOT crews
were still cleaning up after a semi
hauling beer overturned the previous
evening, less than a mile away from
where the rockslide occurred.

A strong area of low pressure tracked
into the Ohio River Valley from the
southern Plains on the 24th. This
storm brought a combination of heavy
snow, high winds and heavy rain to
central Illinois. The precipitation
began as rain in the morning, but
quickly changed to wet snow across
much of the region. The snow became
heavy at times by midday as isolated
bands of thunder snow developed. 4 to
6 inch snow totals were common across
much of west central Illinois by the
time the snow ended in the evening,
with localized 7 to 8 inch
accumulations noted across portions of
Tazewell, Woodford, and McLean
counties. Sustained winds of 20 to 30
mph with gusts to 40 to 50 mph caused
considerable blowing and drifting of
the snow in west central Illinois. In
addition, the high winds and the
weight of the wet snow downed numerous
trees and power lines. One fatality
(indirect) each was reported in
McLean, Peoria and Tazewell counties
as a result of traffic accidents.
Numerous injuries (indirect) were
reported as a result of traffic
accidents. Four injuries (direct)
occurred at the Howlett Building in
downtown Springfield (Sangamon County)
when a portion of the roof collapsed
under the weight of the wet snow.

The first winter storm of the season
struck the day before Thanksgiving
causing significant travel problems.
The precipitation began as rain in the
pre-dawn hours across Northeast
Missouri, Southeast Iowa, and West
Central Illinois due to above freezing
temperatures. A combination of
evaporative/dynamic cooling from the
rapidly deepening low allowed a change
over to all snow between sunrise and
0900 CST with a brief (generally an
hour or less) period of sleet.
Mesoscale bands of heavy snow then
developed through the morning and
afternoon hours with some observing
sites reporting thunder or distant
lightning. Snowfall rates in the bands
were 1-2 inches per hour which allowed
accumulation in spite of ground
temperatures in the upper 30s to
middle 40s. This resulted in numerous
traffic accidents.
Based on a combination of spotter
and co-op reports, McDonough County
received 6-7 inches of snow
county-wide with the southeast half of
Hancock County receiving around 6
inches. Due to an extremely sharp
cutoff and mesoscale banding, only the
southern parts of Henry County
received 6-7 inches of snow. It is
highly likely that mesoscale banding
produced a 6 inch snowfall within 12
hours across extreme southern or
southeast Warren county. However, no
collaborative proof in the form of
reports from spotters or co-operative
observers were received.

regained F2 intensity moving through
the Cooper Community. The tornado
produced extensive structural damage in
Cooper. Several homes, businesses,
mobile homes and out-buildings were
damaged or destroyed. Hundreds of trees
were blown down or snapped off in this
