Massive overflow on rivers. Fairbanks drivers &#8220;playing car hockey&#8221; on roads glazed with black ice. People taking 10-minute flights to the next village because ground travel was nearly impossible. Potholes sprouting like pussy willows.<\/p>\n<p>  Thanks to a persistent southerly flow of air, Fischer said, Fairbanks experienced its warmest average daily mean temperature on record &#8212; 13.6 degrees &#8212; for the 133 days from Oct.\u00a01 through Feb.\u00a010.<\/p>\n<p>  South of the Alaska Range, the wacky winter has forced the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race to change its restart next month from Wasilla to Fairbanks.<\/p>\n<p>  &#8220;People are really starving for snow right now,&#8221; said John Wilbur, chief ranger for the Alaska State Parks Susitna\/Denali ranger district. &#8220;In the Willow area, there&#8217;s no recreation at all.&#8221;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Meanwhile, here in Seattle, it&#8217;s cloudy and 41. Pretty average for this time of year, from what I understand.
