RARE SUMMER SNOW HITS ALASKA

[Mark]

Unusual summer flurries have settled in Denali, South-Central Alaska this week where the mercury has been holding some -6C below the climatological norm.

According to climate specialist Rick Thoman, “an inch or two of slushy snow” accumulated near the Denali NPS Headquarters on Tuesday morning, which “would appear to be the fourth occurrence on record, since 1923, of accumulating [summer] snow at the HQ.”
