We have a couple signs that fall is here in Alaska – it gets colder, the leaves turn, the fireweed flowers finish blooming, and we get termination dust on the mountains. It’s called that because it’s the termination of summer. For the summer, we don’t have snow on the peaks we can see in Anchorage – when you can see snow again, winter is coming soon. We actually got termination dust a couple weeks ago, but I have been in denial.
I got this photo on our way into work on Friday (I wasn’t driving). That’s definitely snow. And here’s the other sign
The majority of the trees we have here are birches, so we don’t get different colors of autumn leaves, by and large. We get gold, which is also pretty!
I can’t deny it any more, fall is falling. How about where you are?

Autumn is definitely here in the Highlands, no snow on the peaks yet but my Acers are all changing colour. I think I’ll take some photos and post them on my blog. 😀

We are into spring and started daylight saving yesterday (Sunday 29th). The general trend of the weather has been for the better, but it has also been very unpredictable. In other words, typical spring weather. 🙂

It’s still summertime hot here, but should cool off by the end of the week. Fall is late this year!

Way to warm here for fall. May hit 90 on Wednesday (isn’t that ridiculous?). Maybe next week. We are starting to see a very little bit of color but no much. Leaves may be late this year.

Snow already? Yuck! It does look pretty but I’m so not ready for it here.

It’s not down off the mountains yet, and hopefully it will stay up there for a good long while! But it’s coming 😛

It was 90 today, so it doesn’t feel like fall. Our burning bush is just starting to change, but the rest of our trees are still green. It should cool off tomorrow, which would be great as I don’t want to run the air conditioning in October.

Oh my gosh! I hope it cools off for you – I wouldn’t want to run AC in October either!

Nothing turning colors right now, but it will come. Temps are still high, but that’s also normal for us, 1st Indian summer, as we like to say, cause sometimes we have more than 1!

🙂 It will get there eventually! We do have a pretty long winter season, so our cooling down starts pretty early.
