Weather or whether or not you agree with Man Made Global Warming, this is funny: Source: Iditarod ship in snow - Business Insider For the first time in the history of the event, organizers of the Iditarod sled dog race in Alaska will have to ship in snow due to unseasonably warm weather. The traditional start to the famous, 1,000 mile race from Anchorage to Nome begins with a ceremonial trot through downtown Anchorage — but this year race officials will have to improvise to make it work. The organizers will import 300 cubic yards of snow from Fairbanks — which is 350 miles to the north — via the Alaska Railroad to be distributed prior to the event on Saturday. . . . Bob Wilson
We've been about average here with DC Cherry Blossoms maybe a few days early of average, vs. very late blossoms last couple last 2 years. We would need Spidey or someone to say how unusual this is. If I recall Anchorage does not get too many total total inches of precip just mists all day long
