Interesting article about Alaska's unseasonably warm weather

Warmer weather in Alaska will lead to more snow fall and hence, more spring flooding when that extra snow melts. If it warms up in the Interior and coastal Mountain ranges, they too will get more snow fall. The ole adage of it can get too cold to snow is basically true as the super cold air can't contain much water vapor. Warm that air up a bit and it can hold a lot more water vapor to lead to snow. More snow in the Coastal Mountain ranges will lead to more glacier formation and more glacier movement. Some scientists think this is what happened about 10,000 years ago when the last Ice Age occurred and sent glaciers as far south as Kansas. If that happened again, that would be one large urban renewal project for any cities north of Kansas. LOL But if we are on a 10,000 to 20,000 year cycle with Arctic temperatures, probably not much for those of us currently here to worry about. What caused it to warm up in the Arctic 10,000 years ago, who knows? This is a strange planet we live on at times that we don't understand, IMHO.

Keep in mind when we are talking warming, it may be from the -70 below zero we had in the mid 1970s to the -40 belows of this past winter in the Interior of Fairbanks and Tok areas. Both still colder than a well diggers arse in Siberia or to remove the appendages off a brass monkey.
