It's snowing in Fairbanks...

The photo in the right is a live shot of downtown Fairbanks in Alaska. As I write this, it is snowing heavily and has been since before daylight. This is not their first snow of the season but it's the biggest I have seen so far this year. Most people think it is like this year round, but in the summer, Fairbanks (and most of Alaska) is as warm as the rest of the lower 48 (though temps matching those in the southwest would be rare).

As for the weather where we are, it is really nice today. 73 degrees and sunny. We took Molly to the park to walk and she apparently stepped on a bee. She didn't yelp or even make a sound but we saw her limping and found the bee still stuck to her paw. I ended up carrying her all the way back to the car. She seems to be fine now.
