I'm jealous. I'm heading to New Mexico next winter for a good 2-3 months.
I'll have to take some photographs of those flower and leaf things in the morning when I go for a walk around the lake. There's also something called green grass out there.

When I woke up this morning I had a weather alert for a winter storm on my phone issued by NOAA. I thought, "okay, NOW I'm over it!" Then I saw that it was just for "mainly over summits and higher terrain" and I calmed down. Sigh.

Wasn't it about a year or two ago that global warming advocates were using warm winters in Alaska as proof?

For sure.

I guess we've been spoiled by so many warm winters in the last few years, we're coming to expect them every year. That's not the way natural cycles, or human induced climate change, work.

And wasn't it less than a year ago that a cruise ship went through the Northwest Passage for the first time in history due to lack of sea ice?

Yes, and 2016 was warmest year on record for Alaska. 2016 shatters record for Alaska's warmest year

If you don't like cold and snow, you're living in the wrong place.

It won't be long before the first mosquito sighting.

Southern Southeast Alaska normally doesn't get much of either one.

After living in Alaska for many years and getting older each day, I am ready for summer. It does not mean that I don't like the cold, just that I want the summer. Then during the summer I can complain about mosquitoes, no-see-ums, and gnats?

But at least I can go salmon dipping during the summer, and moose hunting in September.

If I were rich like Met, I would turn into a snowbird.
