Sub-zero wind chills forecast for Bmore tonight, while Alaska is melting. Climate change may destroy human civilization but at least its interesting, amiright? (Valdez is apparently the port town for which the ill-fated Exxon Valdez was named and out of which she sailed. The determination of irony inherent in the town that is the namesake once removed of one of the most famous oil spills being the victim of a disaster probably related to climate change, is left as an exercise for the reader.)
Warm temps blamed for massive avalanche that cut off Alaskan town (NBC News)

Snowy debris hundreds of feet long and up to 40 feet deep slammed onto Valdez’s Richardson Highway early Friday and again on Saturday.
