I will guess that Fairbanks may have made it to mid-October without a trace, but I'm not sure on the early side. I'm curious whether snowflakes were ever observed prior to the infamous Aug 29 snowfall of 1922.<br />Richard Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08313902028896263276noreply@blogger.com
