Snow in Alaska, two degrees; up to 60? here today

This is a photo of four of us in Two Rivers,
Alaska, November of 2001 (not sure on year).
We had just returned from camping on the Chena River with , left, Kaz Zirkle, me, Eunice and Aliy Zirkle. We had taken off under a full moon at frigid temps and had a wonderful time with the dogs. I believe the temps were minus thirty over that night, minus twenties as we ran dogs that week.
Checked yesterday and five inches of snow in Two Rivers. This a.m. two degrees and light snow. Hear the have just 5 inches on ground, so slippery for ATVs and not enough for sleds.

Two different worlds, at times, other times temps fairly similar to ours. Today we expect to get up to high fifties, even 60 degrees, too warm to run, doggone!
