    This is a rather intnrestieg event. Typically high pressure of this magnitude is associated with an arctic air mass coming down from the Yukon. A 1045 mb High isn’t very unusual over the Canadian prairie. But in this instance, the high pressure actually developed over the eastern Pacific and moved into the Pac NW. It is a reflection of the strength of the ridge of high pressure aloft.

    I would like to purchase a copy of this video. My Husband, Lee White was in this video. I recently lost him July 26,2013. I was watching Ghost Adventures, and seen 4-6 seconds of video and could not believe my eyes. I replayed it over and over again I was in shock. Then my niece called me today and found your video. I hope to hear from someone soon. Thank you, Anna White
