Fairbanks, Alaska may experience a green Halloween for the first time ever due to minimal snow cover. Only trace amounts of snow were on the ground on October 31st in 2016 and 2017, and since modern record keeping began in 1930, Fairbanks has never had a Halloween without any snow at all on the ground. The Alaska Center for Climate Assessment and Policy climate specialist Rick Thoman says that while there are a couple of opportunities for snowfall, it is possible that this year will be a green Halloween. The first official snowfall of the season at the airport was observed on October 20th, the latest first snow date in the community's recorded history. The National Weather Service is forecasting snow across the Eastern Interior including the Fairbanks area on Tuesday, but valley level accumulation is questionable due to well above freezing high temperatures forecast this week.
