Choice quotes from today's weather article

Minor News sez:

"The combination of a late breakup and early Memorial Day means limited outdoors opportunities for sun-starved Interior Alaska residents on what is forecast to be the first warm weekend after a prolonged winter or delayed spring, take your pick."

"Workers still were trying to thaw the well at the Granite Tors Campground at 39.5 Mile, and some camp sites are still covered in snow. State parks won’t start charging fees at campgrounds until the water is thawed..."

"There is no water available at the campground at Harding Lake south of Fairbanks, either, and some campsites still are buried in snow..."

"The campground at Quartz Lake will be open for the weekend, but the lake is frozen, he said. Harding and Birch lakes also are frozen..."

"'The warm temperatures could trigger flood warnings for rivers and creeks as a result of rapid snow melt', Fischer said... 'We’ll be keeping an eye on that.'"

Temperatures are forecasted to hit mid 70s F this weekend, which is really surreal considering that the trees are only just now budding, and that there is snow on the ground. Autumn and Linden aren't even shedding any more.

Two nights ago, I spotted my first mosquitoes. The huge, drunken, lazy ones come out first, and they are easy to kill. I call them "practice mosquitoes".


Supper the other night:

Why did something so nutritious and inexpensive feel like an indulgence?

Charcoal comes over to visit:
