Strawberries in November: The Anchorage growing season that won't quit

[Blue_In_AK]

This is a follow-up to my post several days ago about October being the warmest on record in Anchorage. We are now about a week away from breaking the record for latest first snowfall.

The week after a snowsuit-free Halloween, Kate Consenstein discovered strawberries in her garden.

In Anchorage. In November.

The warmest October the city has recorded has extended to a balmy November: Anchorage is one week away from breaking its record of latest recorded snowfall (Nov. 13, 2002) and the weather is still firmly in no-socks-necessary territory, with highs in the 40s during the day.

Lawns are being mown. Pansies are blooming. Chives and sorrel are being snipped.

How's the weather where you are?

Sunny, but chilly days and cold nights.

Had good amount of snow last week.

Overall though we had a very dry summer and needed rain badly.
