Like a striped testament to one of the coldest winters to hit Alaska in 100 years, a black-and-white tripod remains upright, atop stubborn Tanana River ice in Nenana. At 12:42 (ADT) Monday afternoon, the still-frozen waters allowed Nenana Ice Classic set a new record for the latest the ice has gone out in the 97 years since railroad workers started keeping track.

Time to celebrate! I wonder how much longer it can hold out.
And a brief interlude from the Canary:
I have been monitoring the cam, the tripod just fell through seconds ago. It will be interesting to see what happens over the next couple of winters. It wouldn’t surprise me to see an even longer record happen over the next couple of years if the cold winters keep up.
Yep, just saw that too. Now we’ll get to keep hearing over and over again about how this isn’t really a record because of the leap year, despite the fact that if you count days using the best metric, days since the equinox, you’ll find that it’s a record by several hours.

Yay! Another nail in the coffin of the biggest financial scam in history.
