Let's get crazy.
The Summer Solstice is exactly 2 months from today. Then we begin our slow descent into winter.

Nice!
Here's what I have for Oct-Mar.

Fairbanks, AK, is approaching 100" of snow for the season. This is now the snowiest winter since 1992-93 and is in the top 10 snowiest winters overall. โ๏ธ @alaskawx.bsky.social
Saw the first Canada geese of the season today here in Anchorage. DM for interviews.
It's been a good run.

Sad!
Wind?
The current 3-month, Jan-Mar, Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) value of -2.53 for the Contiguous U.S. (single average) is not only the lowest Jan-Mar SPI value since at least 1950, it's the lowest 3-month SPI (any 3-month period) since Dec-Feb 1975-76.
Lol.
This uses 30-year climatology periods recomputed every 10 years.
Indeed
This is the distribution for each Dec-Mar of the area of the Lower 48 that was Much Above, Above, Middle (Near Normal), Below, or Much Below for precipitation. Record wet/dry are inclusive of the first/last categories.
The Dec-Mar 2025-26 period in the Lower 48 is the driest Dec-Mar on record (since 1940-41). A staggering 46.4% of the area was in the "Much Below" or "Record" dry categories (lowest 10th percentile) and over 70% of the area was in the "Below" or drier categories (lowest 33rd percentile).

From the base. The trail follows the creek at the bottom of the valley. You start at sea level and after about 1.5 miles, you get to the base of the gulley at 1800'. Then hike/skin up the gulley, and ski down.
