Springtime in Alaska

I'll be the first person to admit that snow can be beautiful. There is definitely something magical about the first snowfall every year. HOWEVER, the temperature here in Southwest Wisconsin has finally reached above freezing for the first time in... 6 weeks? Anyway, I think spring may be here. Maybe it's just wishful thinking... :-)

But, all day long I've been thinking of a song that my Great Grandpa used to sing. It goes like this:

When it's springtime in Alaska and it's 99 below

The Eskimos go barefoot in the white and drifting snow

The polar bears get sunburned and the seals sing all the day

When it's springtime in Alaska.....

I'll be heading the other way!!!!
