With high temperatures in the 70's and 80's, it is not exactly the conditions for snow here in Anchorage; however, there are times that we are seeing what appears to be large snow flurries in the air and accumulations of white can be spotted here and there, depending on location and winds. This is all due to a large population of cottonwood trees all around the area. Even though these trees are not unique to Alaska, it is a bit surprising to learn that the national record tree, at 101 feet tall and abut 32 feet around at the base was discovered in Haines, AK.
Today, as I write this, there is quite a bit of this flurry activity and I'm guessing that it is probably not a good day for allergy sufferers to spend too much time outdoors.
