Re: Where's winter gone in Alaska?
Definitely serves as a reminder that while it may be cold in our own area, that is not a sign that the rest of the world is also experiencing below normal temps (and above normal snowfall) this winter...just ask the folks in Vancouver! Highlights what is meant by weather vs. climate.
