Yes, we have some snow and we should get more tomorrow (around 10 cm). It is however very mild right now with -1C, and we should get above 0C temperatures between Thursday and Saturday ! -

Yukon and Alaska share the same trend of above normal temperatures. I don't know in Alaska, but in South Yukon we are also missing snow. Here are two pictures I took yesterday while having a 25 km run on the trails behind my home: http://photos-f.ak.instagram.com/hphotos-ak-xpa1/t51.2885-15/928633_758848204198717_1187021447_n.jpg http://photos-h.ak.instagram.com/hphotos-ak-xaf1/t51.2885-15/10891020_747487491996151_915726995_n.jpg That's not like this everywhere but snow depth is fluctuating between that and 20 cm in my area. It looks like, to be confirmed anyway, that cold could come back at the end of the month. Wait & See ! -

For running: head: a mask and a cap + a neck warmer body: three shirts (one short sleeves, two long) + a jacket hands: two pairs of gloves legs: two pants feet: two pairs of socks and that's okay! Now it has warmed up a lot and we may even get above 0C next week... -

We got down to -45 this morning in the territory, but it started to warm up in the south with temperatures above -30C right now at my place. This afternoon we got 1 cm snowfall by temperatures between -28 and -32, and temperatures will gradually go back to the -15C's in the following days. Some more snow to expect (5 cm?) between tonight and Thursday. -

Happy New Year ! We are under a snowfall alert here in Whitehorse, 15/25 cm are expected by tomorrow morning: Warnings5:22 AM PST Thursday 01 January 2015 Winter storm warning in effect for: South Klondike Highway - Carcross to White PassHazardous winter conditions are expected. A deep Pacific low pressure system will move across the northern Alaskan Panhandle late today. Snow heavy at times will begin early this morning and last until late this evening. Total accumulations of 15 to 25 cm are forecast for the day. Additionally, strong northerly winds of 40 km/h gusting to 60 will develop near midday creating poor visibility in snow and blowing snow. Consider postponing non-essential travel until conditions improve. Visibility will be suddenly reduced to near zero at times in heavy snow and blowing snow. Public Safety Canada encourages everyone to make an emergency plan and get an emergency kit with drinking water, food, medicine, a first-aid kit and a flashlight.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday Season to the Community ! It looks like we may have some seasonal cold until the end of this week before it warms up again (again ...) with highs close or above 0C in Whitehorse starting Monday. Here are some pictures I took sooner this afternoon while having a run on the trails of the subdivision. During the run temperatures dropped from -14 to -18C: Fog patches: http://photos-g.ak.instagram.com/hphotos-ak-xpa1/t51.2885-15/10724876_310690919142150_316946713_n.jpg The trail: http://photos-b.ak.instagram.com/hphotos-ak-xaf1/t51.2885-15/10848199_774015922670905_896419221_n.jpg The Takhini River, still not completely frozen: http://photos-b.ak.instagram.com/hphotos-ak-xpa1/t51.2885-15/10522219_1526779600935345_48146586_n.jpg -

We should organize a trip ! Whitehorse is not so extreme compared to Yellowknife or even in the Prairies. Pacific Ocean is just 100 km far away and influences a lot our weather up here. This morning I have -3C, which is not so bad. And even if we only have 5 1/2 hours of daylight, sky is clear enough 8 hours a day. And this means that in summer we have up to 19 hours of daylight ! Yes, that's correct, even if this year that's not perfect because winter has been so mild so far ! -

Still mild here. After a short break on Friday and Saturday, wind from southeast is blowing up again and we got -1.4C this afternoon. Here are two pictures I took yesterday in Whitehorse, along the Yukon River: http://scontent-b-pao.cdninstagram.com/hphotos-xfa1/t51.2885-15/10852733_1513885008864219_27429855_n.jpg http://photos-e.ak.instagram.com/hphotos-ak-xaf1/10832029_1376037689361964_1126221499_n.jpg -
