Gulf of Alaska Storms
Storms move out of the Gulf of Alaska into the Pacific Northwest with great regularity, as many as three or four per week during the height of the winter storm season. Winter Gulf of Alaska storms typically sport winds in excess of 80 km/h (50 mph) with corresponding high waves. Some storms rival the strength of the great hurricanes/typhoons and would be considered as such if their origins were tropical rather than polar.

Great Lakes Snowstorms
During the cold season in the Great Lakes Basin, cold-front passage is often followed by a 24-36-hour period of blustery winds, falling temperatures and lake-effect snows. Such lake-effect snowstorms are of major economic significance in the Great Lakes Basin as snowfall accumulates to as much as 75 cm (30 inches) per day.
