any FReepers in Anchorage?

It's been in the 40's and sunny here in NY. Very unusual but when it's warmer than normal somewhere, it's going to be colder than normal somewhere else. It's that average global temperature thing. I'm enjoying it no matter what. I know we'll get ours some other time.

It's a term of endearment for those who come to Alaska to teach Alaskans how it is done.

Yikes !

26 FEET in December with 5 feet in the last 4 days.

Gee, my sister lives in Anchorage and she was sniffling to me about how 'it doesn't snow in Anchorage anymore' because of global warming. Of course the discussion usually ends whenever I say 'isn't global warming the reason that Yosemite is no longer under a sheet of ice?'

In another display of pitch-perfect priorities, the U.N. has released its findings on cow flatulence. There's quite a lot of it.

The 400-page study, $27 million of which probably went to Saddam Hussein for old times' sake, discovered that the planet's livestock, including 1.5 billion cattle, produce 18 percent of greenhouse gases.

Apparently the beasts of the field do nothing but wander around all day asking their brethren to "pull my hoof."

Every time a cow feels a small sense of relief, a polar bear goes through the ice.

How many of that 33% do you think will make it until next fall?

[RockinRight]

Looks like the Midwest and East will cool off after mid-month.

Way Cool!! How about snowboards and snow mobiles? So when is Alaska going to sponsor sooped-up snowmobiles drag racing for the Alsakan Winter Nationals?

Now why can't we have actual winter weather here in New England? Looking outside right now here in Connecticut, it is mostly cloudy and 55 degrees. Tomorrow's high is supposed to be mid 50s, and Saturday's high is going to be in the mid 60s

I'm a winter lover, and there has been NO SNOW AT ALL YET!! Where's my snow? I'd happily trade weather with Denver or Alaska. My poor skis haven't even been taken out of their storage bag yet.

[george76]

Come out west.

We have lots.

Even there is some Colorado snow for sale on Ebay !


Really.

[Danette]

My sister lives in Alaska....said the skiing is "incredible" right now.

[hosepipe]

Tourists?... (Eddie Murphy laugh)..

[george76]

Your sister in Anchorage will be tormented now.

Too much snow.

[george76]

ok...

All of this snow is Bush's fault.

[george76]

This should work...

26 FEET in December with 5 feet in the last 4 days.

Still waiting for our first snowfall (Measurable) in Connecticut, gota love this global warming. ;-D

Approximately 1/3 of the population is changed out every year. 8% is Alaska Native and generally stay in the State; not all, but most. Three years is about all one should expect from those who got inspired and showed up mostly unannounced, which is about how they will leave. As they say, 'yeah, old Pete, we remembered him fondly until we saw his taillights.'

[Disambiguator]

Anchorage, Albuquerque. Too much snow! Ain't global warming great?
