New York Daily News reported Wednesday on the weather in Alaska ... I was particularly interested since we able to visit Alaska in 2012. "On Tuesday, the official afternoon high in Anchorage was 81 degrees, breaking the city's record of 80 set in 1926 for that date."
With 19+ hours of daylight that is a BUNCH of sunbathing!
"All-time highs were recorded elsewhere, including 96 degrees on Monday 80 miles to the north in the small community of Talkeetna, purported to be the inspiration for the town in the TV series, "Northern Exposure" and the last stop for climbers heading to Mount McKinley, North America's tallest mountain. One unofficial reading taken at a lodge near Talkeetna even measured 98 degrees, which would tie the highest undisputed temperature recorded in Alaska."
That is a snow pile in the foreground at the Talkeetna Roadhouse when we were there May of
2012! Good luck with the explosion of mosquitos this heat will bring. Poor bears and other wildlife!
