I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas - from the fourth graders of Quinhagak, Alaska

We have very little snow up here so far this year, and the kids of Quinhagak aren't happy about it.

1. Very cute! Poor kids...

There's still no skiing in the Cascades here...just a bunch of rain.

2. That is ingenious!

Thank you so much for sharing it. The expressions on their faces are priceless!



I'd love to show this to a couple of climate-change deniers that I know, just to see their reaction.

Not a speck of snow down here in the foothills of the Northern Cascades yet, either.

Somebody needs to do a bit of rewriting and create the song, "Where Have All the Glaciers Gone".

4. Ummm considering the average snowfall is zero for Dec according to

http://www.homefacts.com/weather/Alaska/Bethel-Census-Area-County/Quinhagak.html I dont think it would budge their opinion.
The predicted temp for Christmas day vs annual average temp might do it but I wouldnt hold your breath on that as they probably would still deny it.

5. I can't speak for Quinhagak,

but Anchorage normally would have had a couple of feet of snow on the ground by now, but instead we have about six inches. According to this link, both Anchorage and Bethel 77 miles from Quinhagak) should have had about 10 inches of snow in November and another 10 inches in December.

This is not a normal winter in Alaska. I've lived here since 1975.

6. That is why its called climate change.

Not that it matters to some idiots especially the ones who listen to RW talk radio like its gospel.

7. Yes, and we're the canaries in the coal mine up here.

I heard on the local news a couple nights ago that the climate is warming in the Arctic twice as fast as it is elsewhere. I liked winter - if I wanted Seattle weather, I'd move to Washington.

8. I would kill for weather like Seattle as I live with a combination extremely high humidity and heat

during the summer down here in the Augusta GA area.

3. Cute kids.

Great version of the song by the Drifters too.
