I'd be surprised if I've had 10 nights below freezing all winter. It's like I'm back in the Bay Area.

It has been in the upper 40s with a high of 51 F yesterday here on the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta for the past 10 days. Never had more than a few inches of snow on the ground all winter, when the average is 65?. Now the ground is mostly bare of snow, and the distant mountains are showing large areas with no snow. The night of the start of the Kuskokwim 300 sled dog race on Jan. 16 it was 34 and raining. 50 years ago this area was Zone 1 on the plant hardiness map, now it shows as zone 3b. The past several winters temps are indicative of a zone 4b or 5a.

Looking at the SPEI Drought Monitor it indicates that there is drought conditions on most of the west coasts of South, Central and North America from Southern Chile to the Arctic.
