"Inconcievably heavy snowfall" in Alaska's Banana Belt

 During my short time in Cordova, AK, I learned that Southern Alaska is "The Banana Belt" of Alaska.  It rained much, hardly ever did the sun shine, but if it snowed, it wasn't a great amount.  Our recent experience with climate/weather on the West Coast prompted this comment on the California Weather Blog:

"...  recently, the bigger & stronger West Coast ridge has pushed the Pacific storm track even further north. Remarkably, this powerful ridge has forced several very moist atmospheric river storms over the mid-Pacific to make a hard “left turn” over the open ocean–veering directly northward and bringing almost inconceivably heavy snowfall to the coastal mountains of southern Alaska."
