6:00AM: 45F, light rain.
Showers today, sun comes back Saturday.
Side note: This tourist season is much more stressful right off the bat than in the past.
PEOPLE! When you visit a village/town/city/metropolis....
🚨 CROSS AT CROSSWALKS! 🚨
Do not dart out to jaywalk and "beat traffic" or wander into the street and pause, taking picture after picture.
🚨 AK is in the 21st century...we have cars. Cars that can hit you and absolutely ruin your vacation.

6:30AM: 48F, overcast.
After an especially gorgeous, sunny day yesterday (Yes - even this sun-grouch can appreciate a clear day now and then!) showers and clouds are back in the forecast.
Sun-lovers fear not! It's back in the picture for Saturday.

5:30AM: 38F, fair
The fact that the sky is clear hit home this morning when I woke up at 4:30AM to lots & lots of light....and my brain said, "It's time to get up!!"
Here's my annual grumpy grouse about the sunlit summer in the far North.
It sucks for sleep.
I said what I said.

6:00AM: 44F, clouds are breaking up a bit.
Showers today, clouds this week, rain/showers mid-week on.
In short, a Sitka spring...at least these days.
-
6:30AM: 47F, light rain.
We had a lovely November day yesterday and it looks like another November morn right now.
We sat in the rain and wind yesterday, freezing our asses off, selling baked goods and coffee, but it was worth it. 😍
John swears up & down we had a cold, wet, late spring last year also, that "we were robbed of May." I vaguely remember something like that, but if nothing else, I've learned NOT to trust my weather memory! lol

6:00AM: 49F, overcast.
It rained off & on last night and will rain off and on today.
At 9:00AM is the 33rd annual SE Alaska Women in Fisheries' (of which I am President) annual Fishermen's Flea Market. SEAWIF will sell baked goods and coffee while fisher men and women bring out their gear to buy/sell/trade.
But mainly is a fisher person BS session. The biggest of the year.
Same size as that fish that got away. 😉

Here's Tim Boese’s "Sitka Boats Wide Angle," a wide view of fishing boats at the pier in Sitka Harbor.
Cool blues and green shapes sit beside rocky shore and a handful of pink wildflowers, and the piers lead the eye toward the distant ridgeline.
There’s a quiet, functional calm here, a short pause before the work starts again.

Got a tip that "a dean from a major academic division is monitoring who clicks on the links in the dean's newsletters."
Keep the tips coming!

Turning Point chapters are reviving at UA campuses.
Expect these dweebs to try and get fired anyone to the left of, say, Mike Johnson.
The bosses do not have your back in. Only solidarity and collective action can save us. At the first attack on ONE, ALL need to respond. Stop work! Wildcat strike!

4:00AM: Anchorage, 35F, mostly cloudy. Sitka, 47F, mostly cloudy.
We brought the rain with us to ANC yesterday, which made for a damp "run around town" to get things done before my surgery...
Which is just 3 hours away, give or take. We need to be at the hospital at 5:30. Mine is the first of the day.
Tomorrow I'll be typing one-armed whilst the other has a new shoulder! See you on the other side.

University of #Alaska 2025 employee survey results:
Only 41% feel they are paid fairly.
Only 34% feel UA leadership cares about their well-being.
Only 38% have confidence UA leadership makes the right decisions.
Only 26% feel the survey will do any good. 🤣

It's not often I get little gifts at the office, but when I do, they are good ones! Smoked sockeye salmon from a grateful constituent whom I helped with a SS issue. YUM!

Want some of our new stickers? Let us know! We'd love to have them on every #UA campus.
But be secure and suspicious. Contact us directly with a burner email or with SimpleX. Give us a friend's mailing address or one UA doesn't know. Don't use your name. We're on your side, but don't trust blindly.
(Preference for people who can actually distribute them in Alaska.)

Most of these are chums and humpies, might be a few coho thrown in.

This came up in my FB memories and I thought I'd share it here also.
The video is from several years ago, when I was out commercial salmon fishing with my partner.
I think I like seeing porpoises more than whales. They are so playful, weaving under and around the boat in a choreographed ballet.

6:00AM (Wrangell, AK) 54F, Sunny.
(Sitka, AK) 55F, mostly cloudy now but mostly sunny today.Sitka & Wrangell tend to have the same type of weather at the same time, although Sitka has clouds in the AM and Wrangell has none. Both are expected to have rain this week, starting Tuesday.
All I can say is, it's about damn time! Ugh - this sun!
-
Wrangell, AK, 6:15AM: 54F, sunny.
Heading to a high of 72F on Monday, when I will (thankfully) be back in Sitka where the high will only be 65F. Yes, 7 degrees makes a real difference!
At least I don't live in CA, or OR, or WA. The heat inland is going to be brutal. 103F in Portland...120F in Palm Springs on Tuesday!?!
That's a hard hell to the no!
-
5:30AM: No current temp/conditions report on Wrangell from NWS.
Weather app: 51F, sunny. Can confirm with personal observation. Sitka is 56F and overcast.
Attached is a 4AM pic from John's rental. The boat yard is on the lower left - close to his work. The roofs are the main drag.
I live for the day that 4AM is pitch black again!

6:00AM: 55F, overcast.
Tonight's forecast is "sprinkles after 1AM."
The word "sprinkles" delights me. Then again, anything having to do with rain delights me. 😉
The attached pic is of a twisted Mountain Hemlock atop Harbor Mountain. It reminds me of the twisted Juniper trees in Sedona. No vortexes affected the hemlocks, just wind, rain, and snow.
Love the name "hemlock." Wonderfully witchy sounding.
