I like weather. I hope it gets warm enough for trees to grow again in the valleys where the Mendenhall Glacier is, like they grew there just 1200 years ago. That would be good for the birds and other wild life there.

Can you just imagine another wonderful green valley full of life instead of some dead zone of ice and future moraine, like it was there just a merger 1200 years ago. I wonder how many species went extinct because of that glacier
