It looks like Alaska is still in a warm water flow, so a lot of the cold is bypassing us for now. We had one week of below freezing, one tiny false snow fall. It is looking more like mid November for our first real snow, but as we know Mother Nature can be fickle at times.
I think last night was our first below freezing temps and I guess as much as it has been raining it only makes sense that we got some snow. If our precipitation patterns continue, we are going to get buried in snow this winter!
