Warming Trend: Day 108


It may not feel like it to those plagued with snow on the east coast of North America, but 2014 was the warmest year on record since people started taking notes back in 1880. If you look at a global temperature anomaly map, much of this added heat is concentrated around the poles, particularly the arctic. This has not been the extreme winter we were warned about before moving up here, with only a few weeks of temperatures in the low negatives. So although the average high in Fairbanks yesterday was -10F when it's actually spring in most other places, I don't mind.
