In fact, average surface temperatures in Alaska for December through February ranged from 4-10°F above normal, with the largest anomalies occurring in western Alaska. This meant that during the entire winter season, average temperatures were near freezing (32F) across the southern coast of Alaska with high temperatures ranging between below 0° to 12°F in areas farther north.

Several weather stations across Alaska have registered winter temperatures in the top 10 warmest. Kodiak had its warmest winter on record (36.7°F), more than a degree warmer than the previous record and well above freezing. Stations all along the southern coast of Alaska had average winter temperatures above freezing.

Homer set all-time monthly records for high temperatures in both December and February, with temperatures reaching into the lower 50s (in case you were wondering, the all-time January record, 57°F, was set just last year). Over the past two winters, Homer has had 14 days with high temperatures of at least 50°F, which is more in two consecutive seasons than in all winters combined from the start of records in the late 1930s to 2012-2013!

In Barrow, Alaska, on the north slope of the state, two of the three warmest winters on record have occurred over the last two years. The 2014-2015 winter season was the town’s third warmest on record at -7.9°F.

And, he's discussing the coming Ice Age?

Is he talking about an emotional freezing up or something?

the last two winters have been murder.
