There it is. The first -40° temperature of the season in Alaska ! It occurred at the Umiat Airfield RAWS station. Umait has the lowest annual average low temperature in Alaska.

Fairbanks snowfall for the season thru Nov 23 more than 9" below normal & El Niño is coming. Based on 24 El Niño winters since 1950, the odds shift toward below normal total seasonal snowfall, but still 21% chance it finishes at or above normal.

OK Anchorage, only 2.3" of snow for the season through Nov 23. And El Niño is coming. Based on snowfall Nov 24 thru May 31 for the 23 El Niño winters since 1953-54, chances of getting to normal snowfall 74.5" is only 11%.

Getting to be a lot like winter, with lots of 20s and 30s below (F) on Alaska's North Slope. The -37F (-38C) at Umiat looks to be the lowest reliable temp thru mid-AM. Gorgeous Suomi NPP day-night band image courtesy of .

November will be near (or at) record warm for Alaska. And this follows the warmest October of record, and September was top five warmest.

"Some of the country’s most rapid changes due to a warming climate are happening in Alaska, the nation’s only Arctic state ... Fixing Alaska’s climate-related damage could cost $110 million to $270 million a year"

From the Alaska Chapter: Not just now. Not just in the future. Already "has caused". The divide between urban & rural Alaska grows as economic and impacts of the changing environment disproportionally fall on rural communities.

I'm thankful I can call Interior Alaska Athabascan county my home. Fairbanks Thanksgiving Day weather extremes: lowest temp -50F in 1927, warmest 46F in 1943, most snow: 6.1" in 1996, deepest snowpack 36" in 1970, lowest snowpack 1", most recently in 1954.

Alaska: you may have heard of us. This is what change looks like: since 2013, 63% of months have been significantly warmer than normal, 9% significantly below normal. And yes, November will finish up in the above normal pile.

Nice Wednesday noontime view from the webcam on Cleary Summit, northeast of Fairbanks, looking north, with the low clouds in the valley finally thinning out.

Over the past year (with lots of week to week variation), higher than average pressure over the Gulf of Alaska and north-central Pacific has steered more than the usual number of storms to either well to the west or well to the south of the southern Panhandle.

The climate world needs (ok, I would like) an R package for the SGS distribution. 🙏

Combined Chukchi & Bering Sea ice extent as of Nov 19 is not quite as low as last year, though the Bering Sea extent is very close. Four of the six lowest extents in the data for this point in the season have been since 2014.
