Interesting I thought the Arctic fronts Hit the canyon, guess A lot more must come down the N Fork valley.It wasn't too bad really. It has to hit us straight west to be noticed.
For us the worst winds can be on an arctic when the big creek valley fills and the cold air comes over the op and then accelerated for 3-4k vertical feet. In march of 20 there was a flow that decimated the mature timber at the head of whitefish lake- someone from florida commented it looked like a cat 4 had come through. Cold air is dense so more force per mph.
