Got to love winter to live in interior Alaska. The National Weather Service recently released these stats:
The Winter of 2020-21 had a total snowfall of 91.3 inches, which was the highest winter snowfall since 1992-93.
We had the snowiest February to April period on record, 54 inches and far above the normal of 16 inches.
The snow on the ground in Fairbanks reached its greatest depth at 40 inches on April 4, which was the deepest snow depth in Fairbanks since 1993.
This winter had the record longest stretch of days remaining below 40°F, which was 183 days in a row from October 11 through April 11.
The coldest day this winter was -42°F on February 22, which was the only day of -40°F or colder this winter. Fairbanks normally has 7 days reaching 40 below or colder each winter.
A nice winter...no winter rains, sugar snow instead...easy to plow.
Some outstanding northern lights displays during warm nights in April to finish up winter.
Now its too light for aurora viewing with Civil Twilight from 3:40 am to midnight.
We do have a long, warm, dry summer....
