This is part of a great conspiracy to make Alaska White Again, a vast conspiracy that seems to reappear every year about this time, or it is proof that global warming is a liberal media myth, or perhaps its due to the physics of planet rotation, surely an elitist liberal scientific opinion driven to increase funding. Because facts are now dead, it's now all opinion. This is intended as satire/irony, with a sad element of truth. Drive safe everyone, and reconsider if that trip could not happen tomorrow.
