We had that great stretch in latter April too. Some spots today will hit low 80s probably, but not my area I don't think. Low dewpoints FTW.

I haven't been to Alaska since I was stationed at Point Barrow in the late 70's and early 80's. Point Barrow is much further north than Anchorage, but never-the-less, some very interesting wx. I wish we could get weather like that here. Maybe a move to Alaska is my best bet. The warministas would crap bricks if we got a mid-May snowfall here in New England.

The warministas would crap bricks if we got a mid-May snowfall here in New England. Mid-May snowfall isn't unheard of NE. 2002 had the record-breaking 5/18 snowfall. Of course everyone knows about 5/10/77. There's been some others in NNE that I forget about. I think 1984 had a minor event in mid-May...and of course there were the 2 seperate May events in 1967...the latter producing upwards of 6" of snow in the Monadnocks on May 25-26th.
