Yep, it's definitely been a little warmer than normal.
Record breaking temps in Fairbanks. I guess we have been sort of lucky. Fires are burning out of control all around Galena so we've had a good smoke shield for the last 2 weeks. We're only getting up to about 85% of max temperature.
But I'm getting tired of the brown skies. It's usually about this time of year that I can't wait for the snow to start flying.
Seems like since I've come to America, that the weather is better than ever back home! Must be getting home sick...but don't miss four hours of daylight and forty below spells - it would take all the babes on this site and then some to keep warm. Gives creedence to the saying "three dog night"!
