@SilverSalmonAK 12:50 pm Mar 17 30 F this morning we have a slow falling of large flakes of snow, maybe one centimeter where it has collected on the ground (I covered the nubs of rhubarb with plastice for the cold spell last week) #CBJuneau #MyAlaskaWx #akwx #Alaska
A winter night in the boreal forest near Fairbanks, Alaska. The full moon lights up the snow-covered ground, casting deep shadows from the spruce and willows. Ice crystals on the surface catch the light, sparkling in the still, cold air. This is easily one of my favorite (non-aurora) night images!
6:00AM: 36F, overcast.
7:00AM: EDITED TO ADD: SNOW!
We must have had a snow flurry last night because my phone's lock screen had snow falling over my forest scene.
Nothing stuck, however. At least where I am.
100% chance of snow showers today, so maybe I'll get another crazy pic of 50 cent piece sized flakes!
Come to think of it, are 50c pieces still in circulation? I haven't seen one in years.
It's been AWOL for months but we finally have some decent, halfway normal winter weather, for a few days before the spring melt. Olive celebrates with a roll in the snow. #anchorage #alaska
This moose has an ear tag. He's also being quite chill on a Sunday afternoon. We had about an inch of snow yesterday, but it's already gone here. Photo by Lacee Johnson. #Alaska #AlaskaWildlife #Moosetodon

Now, that's one FAT polar bear! Photographer Melvin Kayotuk said folks in the area are calling him Fat Albert. #Alaska #AlaskaWildlife #PolarBear
#Alaska #weather acting up again y’all.
Two days ago vs. Two weeks ago.
it has snowed more in the past three days than it has in the past three months.
Oh, also there’s a #volcanoeruption on the horizon
A jumbled mess of seracs and an ice arch in the Gabriel Icefall on the Gulkana Glacier. Seracs form where two or more crevasses intersect, often creating towering blocks of unstable ice.
I have a short article on crevasses here: https://www.lwpetersen.com/definitions/glaciers/crevasse-glacier/
6:30AM: 30F, clear.
Snow is likely tonight (60%), then 80% rain/snow Monday.
John is heading out to get a couple of days fishing in before Tuesday's 35SE gale.
Tuesday is also his birthday, so I guess his present is a bit of weather excitement! Well, that and a lemon meringue pie. 
A very rare treat today while driving down to Seward. Orcas in Turnagain Arm! #Alaska #Anchorage #Orca #Whales

I love that even in the most freakish of dry winters in #Anchorage #Alaska we get a snow dump in March, because there's ALWAYS a snow dump in March, ALWAYS, freakishly dry winters notwithstanding. #AKWX
Thank goodness!! Such a cruel, unnecessary, horrific policy.

6:30AM: 30F, fair.
Sunny days really bring home the amount of light we have now. It always amazes me how quickly the darkness recedes in the spring.
Ugh. At least I get a couple hours of dark at mid-summer here. When I lived in Tok, the best we got was civil twilight if I remember correctly. Maybe nautical? Civil is sun at 6 degrees below the horizon and nautical is 12.
I could read the newspaper outside at 1AM if that helps.
What I did today. #Alaska
