What April feels like
April belongs to the Nenana Ice Classic — a tripod planted out on the Tanana ice and tickets sold statewide guessing the exact minute it goes out. It has been running for over a century, which tells you how much of an Interior institution breakup is. Aurora season winds down as the sky stops getting properly dark.
Winter is doing its thing: 3.1 in of snow in a typical April, with fresh snow on about 3 days. Nearly every night dips below freezing.
