"Now I have seen the current muddy at break up but usually after prolonged warming and winds. This one is about a month ahead of the game."
"Been a cool dry fall. The snow line hit twice in late August and once in September at the 4000 foot level. We saw 22 degrees several times in September and twice in August so general frost is in town. But no ice on shore lines so the rivers and lakes are staying warm even as the chill sets in"
Early budding willows (genus Salix) were observed on the Chistochina Trail during temperatures of 18 above Fahrenheit. The average temperature on March 23, 2021 was 10 degrees Fahrenheit, the coldest temperature on the day in the past twenty years.
The winds have been unusual this fall. Usually a north wind is "part and parcel of the turn of the season" but so far the wind has been "sporadic without a sense of direction."
Willows are budding early, following temperature swings of 40 to approximately -32 degrees Fahrenheit between February and March.
Late budding alder tree.
The sun when direct was intense, definitely not April and not May...more like the month of June.
