Oh, that's just SO wrong

It's SNOWING. On the 12th of May! I'd like to file a complaint with the weather, please...

An Alaskan native resident complaining about snowy weather?

Tsk, tsk, tsk.

That would be like me complaining about earthquakes after living in the Bay Area for 26 years. ;)

Next, you'll be complaining that the days are too short in winter.

On second thought ...

... I think you and he (see below) should trade stories:

My sophomore year of high school it snowed on my birthday, May 16th. It was that exact moment I determined I was going to leave Alaska as soon as the opportunity presented itself.

Oh, that's just so wrong.

Weather must not be criticized; it just is.
Here in Florida, we have had thick smoke from wildfires for several days; closed roads, coughing cits, lots of headlights trying unsuccessfully to pierce the stinking smoke.

I check the Fairbanks weather daily, and am usually horrfied by the contrast with our central Florida lovely outlook. For several days now, tho, we have had major smoke pollution from wildfires in southern Georgia and northern Florida. Coughing cits, closed highways, population huddled in the air conditioning, really poor visibility! Today I got up to the now customary pall of smoke-I couldn't see across the canal! I went out to get the daily paper, and was relieved to find we had a good healthy fog, not smoke! Looks the same, but smells ever so much better.
So, don't complain about weather; it's even worse elsewhere!.
Much love,
