Cherry blossom time along the river Rhine (castle route). #spring2025 #spring #rhine #river #trainride #castles Rare left side train ride with ice from Koblenz. Ice never takes this route but they must be constructing or repairing things on the ice route.

Anchorage airport snowfall on Thursday of 5.7 inches (14.5cm) ties for the third highest calendar day total this late in the season (since 1953). #akwx #snow #Spring2025 @Climatologist49 @EBecker @EyeOnAlaska

Snow snow water equivalent as a percent of the 1991-2020 median as of April 1 from ERA5 data. Interior Alaska mostly above normal, southwest Alaska way below normal, mixed above/below in Southcentral. Western Northwest Territories also with near to below normal snowpack. #akwx #Spring2025 #Snow @Climatologist49

Kind of cold Tuesday morning on the North Slope and Northwest Arctic Borough. Nowhere was particularly close to record lows for April 8. #akwx #Spring2025. @Climatologist49

Le pommier d'ornement : des fruits immangeables, il ne fait presque pas d'ombre et il a l'air malade et dépouillé les 3/4 de l'année mais pendants quelques jours chaque année il devient le plus beau de tout le quartier. Cette vue est juste incroyable pour accueillir le printemps et le renouveau.

First outside coffee of the year, lovely!

March precipitation in and around Alaska was mostly lower than average, but with a swath of above average totals from Bristol Bay northward past Kotzebue and to the western Arctic coast. Also parts of southern Southeast with above average totals. Parts of the northeast Interior and especially northwest Canada with a "top three" driest March (since 1950).

Alaska and vicinity March average temperature departures (ºF) from 1991-2020 normal. Most of the state well above normal, though in recent years both March 2016 and 2019 even milder. Sitka though tied for the third mildest March on record. Northern Bering and southern Chukchi near-coastal areas the only region even a little bit cooler than normal. #akwx #Climate #Spring2025 @Climatologist49 @pat_wx

Fairbanks Airport up to 50F (10.0C) at 220pm AKDT Friday, the first time it has been in the 50s since October 6. This is only a few days earlier than the typical “first 50” of the spring. #akwx #Weather #Spring2025 @anisian @mivox @debmcqueen

Snow depth at Munson Ridge,near Granite Tors, the highest elevation (3020 ft MSL) NRCS SNOTel in the Chena River basin, east of Fairbanks, snow depth increased by almost two feet in this week’s long duration storm. #akwx #Snow #Spring2025 @Climatologist49 @anisian @mivox @debmcqueen

It’s been snowing for 36 consecutive hours and all we got to show for it in low elevation Fairbanks is a slushy mess. #akwx #weather #snow #Spring2025 @anisian @MicheleV_AK @debmcqueen
