Winter is saying "**** you all down south. I'll stay in Alaska where they don't vilify me."

Unfortunately Summer is still getting it on down under in Australia.

Fall/Spring are the Aunts and Uncle you can handle in small dosages at the start but you want to **** off as soon as possible.

Thats good news for us in my opinion. Cold Alaska primes us for a direct discharge of arctic air in February. :D :clap:

The rest of this winter is a crapshoot, it appears the GFS pretty much willed the cold air south it seemed it didn't want to. AF Port landers are comparing this winter to 15/16, that's bad.

I sure hope not. We should get one more blast of cold and snow in February imo.
