Sea ice extent as of March 30 in the Bering Sea is almost exactly at the 1991-2020 median and 30 percent higher than the end of March last year in NSIDC data. Ice loss in Kuskokwim and Bristol Bays has been notable in the past week, while in the central Bering Sea, the ice edge has been pushed south a bit by moderate north winds. #akwx#Arctic#SeaIce#Spring2024 @Climatologist49@ZLabe
Alaska and vicinity low temperatures Friday morning. Per the 'ol Johnny Horton song, "When it's springtime in Alaska it's forty below". With March 1st being the first day of climatological spring in the north, 2024 lives up to the song. #akwx#Spring2024 @dboo@anisian

Good morning and hope your April is starting out great!
Our staff is hard at work watching as many of the new anime for the Spring 2024 season that they can. We'll be dropping First Impression posts as close to the drop date of each of these shows as we possibly can.
There you can see mini-reviews, comments from some of our other staff on each first episode, and links to the full first impression for each series after they've dropped.
Check it out and let us know what you're watching this season!
Dallas Seavey is the first team out of White Mountain in Iditarod 52. It will be a cold run to the finish line on Front Street in Nome, with northeast winds and blowing snow across the Tokpok Hills to Safety. But, as the saying goes, it's been much worse. All but four teams are now to the coast. #Iditarod2024#Iditarod#akwx#Spring2024#Nome
#introduction hi, not used to write things on the net in general. usually don't see the point in participating, when everything is commercialized. maybe this will be different. anyways, I like #gardening with a scythe #nativeplants | some very casual #birdwatching | taking care of my #cats | using #foss and #linux | watching #movies | hope to talk to some of you, let's see where this will lead
The Tanana River at Nenana is showing a lot of melt water on top of the ice Tuesday early afternoon. Continued mild weather this week ensures it will be an early break-up this year, but remember, the tripod has to move 100 feet to trip the clock.

Starting feeling better yesterday but still quite tired so I'm staying on hiatus for a bit longer to get more rest.
But I was excited to find my 1st daffodil opened yesterday (Yeah!😃) & was compelled to post photos. May not get back to your replies but I'll catch up with you soon👍

Green-up in Fairbanks is approaching. Using observed temperatures since March 1st and the forecasts for the ten days, our little model now showing a 60 percent of green-up late next week. The long term average green-up is May 8 and this year is sure to be earlier than that. #akwx#Spring2024#Phenology@CarrieinFbx@anisian@mivox@themattphelps@debmcqueen@leepetersen@dboo@Climatologist49
