“El Nino winters are all warmer than normal, you know, so is it going to be a little bit warmer than normal, or a lot warmer than normal? Below-normal winters are basically off the table in an El Nino winter.” Brettschneider said.
I hope that it will be a little warmer in the interior (around Fairbanks), because so far in May it is still quite cool. We have over one foot of snow is some areas of my yard, and earlier this week it was still around 20-30 degrees in the morning.
Wow, that's a late spring you're getting there in the interior. Definitely hope it warms up soon.
In the article I linked, the meteorologist says that:
“In the summers, the impacts aren’t felt as strongly — or pretty much anywhere, at least, in the mid and high latitudes — the impacts in the summer are more focused in the tropical latitudes,” Brettschneider said.

The snow is melting and the helicopter-size mosquitos are out
Agree. I have a couple of the electric swatters (look like tennis-racquets) to use on the smaller mosquitoes. These large ones can be swatted away with one's hands, and if they land on one's forehead they are slow to start sucking blood. The only problem is that when I squash them down on my forehead-before they start sucking- they leave a large and flat "gut pile" behind
But the worst are the nasty and very small "No See Ums" that start moving in by September or so. Well, these aren't as bad as the biting flies near the Denali Park, and by Glennallen, but they sure cause a lot of pain.
