A TikTok user who caused a little bit of a hoohaa when she said that Wales was in England has had quite the journey. She made a public apology in Welsh and was then invited by Mark Drakeford to come to Wales for a tour of its most important places. She is now celebrating St David's Day in her native Yukon.

As the Canadian Muslim community continues to grow,

It is increasingly important to spotlight the variety of Islamic art and talent that makes us proud.

The latest effort in the Whitehorse mosque is such a great example of how our community structures can be a beacon of hope and beauty to all those who live in the country.

From the newly released "Bioclimatic atlas of the terrestrial arctic" by Mika Rantanen and coauthors (ERA5 reanalysis based), here's the percent change in length of snow cover season over the 71 winters 1950-51 to 2020-21 in and around Alaska. Everywhere in #Alaska and the #Yukon Territory the snow cover season is steady or trending shorter, with very large decreases on the outer coast of Southeast Alaska and on the Alaska Peninsula. #akwx #Arctic #ClimateChange @Climatologist49 @borealscicomp

Percent change in the length of the snow cover season for Alaska, western Canada and Russian far northeast, relative to the 1991-2020 baseline.

If you wonder about the views on the Alcan - this is on the Alaska Highway in the Yukon, Canada, a ways north from Haines Junction.

In the foreground is a marshy area, a small pond closest to the viewer with different plants sticking up in the water like stubble on a man's face. Then there is a vast plane with more marsh until rugged, very tall mountains appear. They are snow covered, jagged, with puffy cumulous clouds over the valley between the mountains, merging into the snow at the tops.

Today in 1874, Robert W. Service is born. Living in the Yukon and inspired tales of the Klondike Gold Rush, he wrote the poems The Shooting of Dan McGrew & The Cremation of Sam McGee. He later wrote Songs of a Sourdough.
He has been called The Bard of the Yukon.

Sunday mid-morning temperatures in eastern Interior #Alaska and the #Yukon Territory. Lowest temperatures reported so far are -55F (-48.3C) at Chicken, Alaska and -52F (-46.5C) at Pelly Ranch, YT. The large spread in temperatures due to multiple factors, including station elevation (lowest temperatures are in valley bottoms, higher elevations milder), wind and low clouds/fog. #akwx #winter @Climatologist49 @pat_wx

Big high pressure forecast to build over #Yukon Territory and eastern #Alaska this weekend. That means clear skies and temperature very cold temps in the Yukon, strong inversions in Interior Alaska and roaring Taku winds for Southeast Alaska. Bonus: this will turn off the snow machine for Southcentral for a while. #akwx #ytwx @Climatologist49 @AK_OK @evaholland
