Ranked by deaths, injuries, damage and size together.
- Cold and Astronomical Low Tide in Alaska, February 6 to 10, 2022Strong winds over northern Alaska combined with an Arctic airmass led to very cold wind chill values over the Arctic Coast and the Brooks Range.
- Astronomical Low Tide in Alaska, February 4 to 5, 2007A strong low moved west to just south of central Aleutians. A strong pressure gradient over Unalaska Island and the eastern Aleutians developed producing high wind over the region.
- Astronomical Low Tide in Alaska, February 26, 2008Strong east to northeast wind combined with snow resulted in a Blizzard in the Pribilof Islands.
- Astronomical Low Tide in Alaska, January 17, 2013A strong 1050 mb high over the arctic ocean produced strong winds along the North Slope. Temperatures of 20 to 30 below zero combined with a northeast wind of around 15 mph to produce wind chills as low as 61 below at the Deadhorse ASOS.
- Astronomical Low Tide in Alaska, November 1 to 2, 2020Low pressure moving east across the Beaufort Sea pushed a weather front across the North Slope and Northeast Brooks Range. This resulted in significant upslope snowfall along the northeast Brooks Range.
