"Winter Strikes Again!"...

 ...would be today's front-page headline of a Toolik-centric newspaper.

Some people are getting annoyed...it warms up and things start melting...


And then it drops below freezing and snows again.

Then the sun comes out and it warms up and starts melting again....

And now today it's darn cold and snowing again.

There are a lot of people here who are really into the distinct Alaskan winter and summer outdoor recreation activities who are therefore super annoyed that this shoulder season is dragging on and on, with not enough snow and cold left to ski, snowshoe, icefish, or snowmobile,  but just enough to make hiking, running, and jumps in the lake difficult or impossible.

I personally don't care too much because it's still easy to take my daily walks, and as long as the snow keeps visiting, it keeps the summer bugs away. But I'm sure they will get here eventually....
