No pics (not smart enough) but we are under a winter storm warning. lol It is calling for 2 to 4 inches here, but 4 to 8 100 miles south of us. lol
So far water is running off my pickup, so it is not cold enough to stick much. lol

I see the ice is just about gone from the Chena. I check out the web cams ever since I made it up there in 2010. here's a link for them,

That doesn't seem to matter this year, I had already mowed twice in April, then it snowed on May third.

This winter has been strange. No snow and very few cold snaps until the last part of February, (I went fishing on the fifteenth 75 degrees). Then we got 6-10 inches of snow every week or so.

Global Warming my left big toe.......

Rain/snow mix here right now in South Central AK. Turning to mostly snow over the past hour or so. The 125 acre lake we are on is still completely frozen over. Last Friday there was someone out fishing through the ice and folks can still get out and walk on it today. The latest we can usually get out on the ice is around May 6. By this time it is usually opened completely up.

Been a pretty strange spring so far. We are probably 10-14 days behind where we normally are for this time of year.

The Anchorage news said if ANC gets measurable snow today or tomorrow that it will be the longest winter snowfall season on record.

I'm ready for some 65-70 degree temps and a little sunshine.

Well yea - you live in freaking Alaska! We get dozens of you down here ever winter - where we don't get snow.
However, we do get 100 degree days in May - yes, it is already hot.

We have three seasons in Arizona:
Hot
Really-hot
No-so-hot

I agree with you on that one! I don't mind 80 or even 85, it's the dang humidity that gets to me.

you can keep the temps.
send some of the hot and really hot women north.

I keep waiting for it to snow, we get rain during the day then have frozen ice drops on everything in the morning.
I [okay the wife done it] did get the lawn mowed once so far this year.

Man, that's bad, heard all about it. Friend lives close to Sarah Palin, snow, snow and more snow. My joints can't take cold any more. 80+ here today, nice breeze, scattered clouds, birds are singing and the tree rats are playing in the trees. Grey is happy since he finally got "Rusty" a week ago, almost felt sorry for the thumper.

!0x you might be surprised with your joints. i had decided I had waited too long in life to live up here for that exact reason. I woke up hurting in New Mexico at around freezing temps and told my wife I didn't remember hurting in alaska the week before at 20 below temps. I was back up here a couple weeks later and temps were around 30 below. This time I was paying attention, and their was no pain . There is a difference, I can't explain it, but there is. It is like the cold 0 here for some reason is way more tolerable than 30 degrees in new mexico.

It's snow/rain mixed here in southcentral. Supposed to be 4-6" overnight. (we'll see)
The last time it snowed this late here was 1964.

Will see 90's again today, too windy to hang metal walls for my casting shed. Grass should be dry enough to mow by now, already have more time on my mower than I had all summer just a couple of years ago.

Snow beats the tornados we had in our neck of the woods this week, got pretty scary around here in the Fort Worth, TX area.
Several tornados spawned and lots of scattered destruction in areas around here, luckily none at my place.

I would be glad to take some of your excess moisture as long as it is liquid phase--we are something like 45-50 " below normal rainfall for last 2 yrs here in S. Texas. You can keep all temps below 40F, above 80F. It is currently (10:56AM) 88F, 80%, and I am on a break from the garden. (2 hoses running)

We got just enough to make the world some what white again. lol I doubt if there is over 1/2 in here in town.

Starmac. that's why they call it the "Great White North"!! Temps will be in the 90s today and most of next week here in N. Texas! If we have more tornados here, I might be up to see you! Just catch a flying house as it goes by!

Keep them tornadoes down there. I was raised in Texas, Lived for years in eastern New Mexico, and had my lifetime supply of wind. lol

Alaska gets some serious wind, but here in fairbanks we get wind, that would be considered a breeze in West Texas, maybe ten days a year. lol

Yes, not fond of those tornadoes. Last count I heard was 13 tornadoes with the worst being a EF4 that leveled parts of Granbury. I think fatalities count is still 6. This time last year a small tornado or very odd straight-line wind ripped up my carport and deposited it on my neighbor's carport 300 ft away. He's still kinda upset with me over that.

Guess I'll have to go up there and see. My Grandfather was there in the Army in 1912. Never forget all the stories he told. I try and walk about 1/2 mile a day with the Grey and that helps big time. Hows the humidity?

In the interior, unless it is raining, it isn't even noticeable. In the winter there is no humidity, none, nada, zero, there is no moisture in the air at 30 below. lol

You can not even make a snowball with snow here in the winter.

I wish we were getting snow. We have had a good rain storm yesterday and a little today but it is the first moisture since January and there wasn't much of that.

I went to an auction today, and it was just sloppy. Every time you turned around you would break through ice with plenty of mud under it.
