I feel that spring will soon be here. Yes, it is true that the temperature was zero this morning, but we have been climbing into the high teens during the day. In addition, there is heat coming from the sunshine. I looked at my thermostat this afternoon and it was reading in the high 40’s with the sun beating on it.
Another sign that spring is on its way are the longer daylight hours. The sun is rising at 8:44 in the morning but actually at 8 am this morning it was dawn. The sun doesn’t set until 5:46 in the evening, but it is still dusky outside after that. It is so nice to have the light. It puts people in a better mood and it is definitely a sign that spring is on its way.
Another sure sign that spring is on its way is the Fur Rondy Carnival and the Iditarod Sled Dog Race. Next week is the beginning of Fur Rondy and there will be lots of events around Anchorage in addition to the dog sled races which will take place on February 25th through the 27th. There will be a parade, snow sculptures, outhouse races and more. On March 5th is the start of the greatest race on Earth, the Iditarod. The race will begin in downtown Anchorage on Fourth Avenue at 10 a.m. and then there will be a restart the following day in Willow, Alaska.
There is plenty of snow on the mountains but there have been numerous avalanches, which is also a sign that spring is on it’s way.
Loving the daylight, love the dog races and loving the heat from the sun. Spring is on its way!
