Climate Change? What Climate Change? In the early morning hours of February 1, 2023, New York City got its first measurable snowfall of the winter (a mere 4/10 of an inch). It marked the latest measurable snowfall in a single winter season since records were first kept in 1869.
Nearly a month later, no additional snow has fallen. NYC has is now odds-on to break the record for least snow in a single winter; the record was set in 1972-1973, when just 2.8 inches fell in Central Park. A few desultory flakes are falling today and March can often surprise us but nonetheless, it's been a disconcerting winter.
In 2012, I made my first visit to Alaska to present at the annual conference for the Alaska Society for Technology in Education. The 2023 conference marked my tenth appearance at the conference.
