Weather, snow, temperature in Alaska seems to be normal at the moment.
There is a video on weather.com where some hockey players from Alaska were interviewed at the US Pond Hockey Tournament in Minnesota. The interviewer noted it was warmer in Alaska then in Minnesota currently. One of the players from Alaska said he moved to Alaska from Minnesota to get away from the cold. In Sparta Wisconsin it was - 31 F air temperature this morning before the sun came up. Don't know what the wind chill was.
If you call 40 above and rain "normal" for January in Alaska. LOL! And people ask me why I moved back up here from Minnesota. "To get away from the bitter winters!" is my usual answer.
