Alaskans already knew what the latest report from the National Snow and Ice Data Center in Boulder, Colo., revealed last week: It's cold up here. The "spring from hell," or perhaps "the spring that never came," has now faded as warmer temperatures arrived around much of the state in late May. But in the waters off Alaska, ice has remained stubbornly persistent, much as it did last year.
...Anchorage experienced the final days of its longest-ever snow season, while the Interior continued to see below-freezing temps, well into May.
