Seems like I read somewhere that AK was actually warmer than present during the little ice age. That means the cold would have been magnified here beyond the drop from lower global temps alone.
I keep telling my wife, she'll have to bite the bullet soon on her wall A/C before it gets unbearable in her room or the smoke arrives.
The weather service has my actual elevation too high so I use nearby places on the point forecast.
My grass refuses to ever turn brown…Even after the great heatwave in the history of recorded heatwaves! Sometimes I wish it would, at least I can usually go to every other week mowings by late July usually as the growth does slow a bit.
