The sun is now directly overhead at the equator, marking the spring equinox, and the return of light to the northern hemisphere. We now receive a full 12 hours of daylight here in Fairbanks, from 8am to 8pm. A major swing in daytime temperatures last week from -30F to 48F is rapidly melting away the white landscape, clearing the roads and revealing ground that's been buried since October. If temperatures remain above freezing in the coming weeks, this could very well be the big breakup into spring. This grouse print in the snow won't be around for much longer.
