Weather is relatively consistent around this time of year, but this season, storms have come in quickly.

Willows budding about a month early 30 miles above the Arctic Circle.

Warmer than normal temperatures in Anchorage may be causing willows (genus Salix) to bud early.

The snow cover in Anchorage and the Chugach is disappearing very quickly. Go out and get it while you can!

Spring has come about a month early. Is the mating season for our state bird, the Willow Ptarmigan, early as well?

Warm air temperatures have melted the snow, leaving the soil without the insulation that snowcover usually provides.

A sperm whale (Physeter macrocephalus) found beached on the east side of Lynn Canal had trauma consistent with being hit by a boat propeller.

This morning I heard and saw a robin in Fairbanks right near the fairgrounds. I have lived in Fairbanks for more than 30 years and have never seen a robin this early!
