Breakup Came Late This Year

For John, BLUF:  It was a long winter.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

At a blog site named The Nenana Ice Classic we learn that this years winners, Mr and Mrs Snow, won a Jackpot of $318,500.00.  They are definitely "flat earth" kinds of people, considering their pick won with Breakup being on May 20th, at 2:41 pm, Alaska Standard Time.

Interestingly enough, as we worried here if Winter would ever turn to Summer, that was the latest DTG on record for the ice to go out.  I blame climate change.

Sorry for the late reporting reporting.

On the other hand, Alaska is experiencing record high temperatures.  I blame the same source.

Hat tip to the Instapundit.
