I live in the foothills of the Alaska Range, North side, and the weather is extremely variable from year to year. So astounding to me when March rolls around with the longer, brighter days and soon hoped for return of spring, yet it still is way below zero at night (23 below the night before our spring equinox!) and there is a good 4-5 feet of snow in the woods! It seems unfathomable right now that all this will melt and we aren't headed into another Ice Age, but I know I have felt this way just about every year at this time.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06573370626577578347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4572286363399496963.post-139057462136033932021-03-20T08:00:28.437-08:002021-03-20T08:00:28.437-08:00I never fail to be amazed at how long it takes for...I never fail to be amazed at how long it takes for the sun to drag the north out of winter.

Being cold with snow plus increasing daylight can make some irritable...we'd like to go out more and enjoy the sun and Spring. <br /><br />But most would probably trade our current weather for the relatively mild mid-winter during December and January we just experienced. Any minor cold now would have been magnified during those dark days. <br /><br />GaryNL7Yhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15874712728971005352noreply@blogger.com
