Scroll down for J.B.’s post today on Alaska. Here are some shots from ABC 33/40 Skywatcher Kristie Calvin, who writes:

“Hi JB:

I just moved to Fairbanks, AK from Jasper, AL. The weather here is has been overcast and cold by Alabama standards. Lows have been in the 30’s and highs in the 40’s and 50’s. On Sunday morning, Mother’s Day, we had snow flurries! We have many hours of daylight. In fact the official sunrise is at 4:37 a.m. and sets at 11:00 p.m. This sure makes going to bed at a decent hour very difficult!

I have attached a few pictures. There is still some snow on the ground. We see moose almost on a daily basis! I will stay in touch as the weather progresses into winter and we get into the frigidly cold season!”
