Climate Change is affecting Alaska. 2/3/13 and it is 40 degrees and raining. No Winter?

This is crazy - 40 degrees and rain in Juneau, AK in February of 2013.  In the past 3 weeks, we had 3 days of 5 to 10 degrees and a foot of snow.  The rest of the time has been above freezing and rain.

I have my cross country skis loaded and will go up to the ski area to cross country when I should be able to just take off anywhere and ski at this time of year.  The lakes are soft and you will break through the ice IN FEBRUARY in Alaska.

It was raining on the top of the mountain yesterday at the ski resort.  It is probably the same today.  The big ski area in Anchorage, Alyeska is also having rain and no snow.  Anchorage is generally 10 to 15 degrees colder than we are in Juneau.  This is turning out to be a crappy winter.  I am still hoping that real winter comes but I am not too hopeful.

Climate Change is real folks.  (I find it interesting and stupid that people say, we have snow in Arizona or wherever, SO THERE IS PROOF THAT THERE IS NO CLIMATE CHANGE!  That is stupid thinking in my mind.
