Looking at that, it seems peaceful, not like snopocalypse at all.

There's another huge storm blowing through NM right now, temperature is slightly below freezing and winds are gale force with a few clouds dropping a little snizzle here and there for the first time in a month. This is the kind of storm that redevelops off the east coast and shoots right up to Boston.

This is definitely a t-shirt winter for eastern Mass, "I lived through the winter of 2014-5."

Absolutely zero media coverage of the incredible and long term recorded rise in temperatures in Alaska which is astounding.

The weather is all jacked up everywhere. That's global climate change.

This place is totally melting. The world championship sprint sled dog races have been cancelled, the Iditarod will be starting in Fairbanks. We have about an inch of snow on the ground here in Anchorage with a couple of inches of water on top. Right now it's 40 degrees. Some places in Alaska have 1/10 the snow as in a normal year.

I would gladly take half that snow off Boston's hands. This is not the Alaska I know and love.


Ed. Anchorage broke another heat record today. High was 47.
