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.

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
Springtime Surprise for Easter Egg Hunting

Woo hoo: Klawock (Tlingit county, Prince of Wales Island) up to 60F (15.6C) early Thursday afternoon. This first 60F temperature of the year in Alaska. #akwx #Spring2025 @Climatologist49
"I'll have one with just a smidge of purple here and there."
March 15 snowpack snow water equivalent (the amount of water in the snowpack) Alaska and vicinity relative to the 1991-2020 baseline from ERA5 data. Very low snowpack around the Bristol Bay region NEwd into the upper Kuskokwim valley. Also along the western Kenai Peninsula coast into northern Cook Inlet. Low snow most for of Southeast. On the other hand, much of the Interior and northwest Alaska Brooks Range southward has near to well above average snowpack. #Spring2025 #Snow @Climatologist49
Today we celebrate the Spring Equinox.
Looking forward to ushering in warmer and longer days and many hours in the garden with the doggo.
A glorious day but still quiet. I saw two Brimstone butterflies, a Carder bee and two bumblebee queens. All far too busy to be photographed.
Happy official day of spring fellas! Spring knight - freshly rescanned for ya! 
Today is officially the first day of spring!
While I like the colors that come with spring, I don't like the warm/hot temperatures that come with it.
As usual for when the Moon is in Scorpio, or magnificently void of course, (tonight: both!!) I've been craving noodles/noodle soups.
And lacking either the core ingredients needed or the money to get takeout (or even the wish for takeout, really: the stuff I want I've just got to make at home, and that's at once a tiring and exciting thought), I just ran through my (few) memories of food I'd had before moving out that I'd enjoyed, which included this incredible soupy garlic chicken noodles I'd had at the Coffee House near College St., Kolkata, and browsed through a number of recipes on Chinese food blogs.
And then went on and had my dinner of leftover roti and my first, very nice attempt at a favourite potato and green papaya vegetable (first fed to me by my BFF#2) -- that I'd spoiled while reheating by adding too much salt 
Anyway, my beloved neem tree flowered today for the first time ever. And for a second first-time-ever, I saw neem flowers live. Have I mentioned that, growing up, I've always adored neem trees and wanted to live so close to one that I'd be able to touch it from my window, and now, by some miracle, I actually live exactly that close to one of those beauties?! I'm declaring March 17 a personal holiday

Winter's still alive and well in Selawik and indeed much of Northwest Arctic Borough, with Kotzebue at 7am -27F (-32.8C). #akwx #Spring2025
Made up the frame for the zippy greenhouse over the weekend. I need to get a new cover as I put the frame together so I could measure it. I managed to order one Sunday that getting delivered in the week. Also pictured is my new coldframe in grey. 3 shelves for putting potted plants in when hardening off as I move plants out of the zippy greenhouse. #zippygreenhouse #coldframe #gardening #gardeningmastodon #spring2025 #springgardening
Dawn Saturday morning at Sivuqaq (Gambell), St. Lawrence Island, Alaska. Overnight low temperature of -11F (-23.9C) is the lowest temperature (so far) in the 2024-25 winter. Image courtesy
