Well, we just had a February and early March with many days above freezing and no precipitation. Not good because much of Alaska dries out in Summer and wildfires are common. But in our part of Alaska we were down to lawns and unraked leaves.

A couple days ago all at once it looked like one of our volcanoes was acting up. Anchorage has been dusted by ash three times since I've moved here. We were told that it was likely it would happen but not soon and really no way to tell how likely on any particularly near future day. Just that it was sort of likely.
Yesterday morning, 6 inches of snow.

At least my unraked leaves are covered.
