March 4th is the 63rd day of the year. There are 302 days remaining until the end of the year.

Environment Canada has issued a Special Weather Statement for tomorrow.

Mild temperatures and significant rainfall and are expected Wednesday. That combination and the frozen ground not able to absorb the rain may lead to localized flooding in low lying areas and water pooling on roads.

Between 10 and 20 millimetres is expected tonight into tomorrow.

Cloud and rain today and a high of 9C is expected, jumping up to 12C tomorrow.

The 2025 Iditarod kicked off Saturday in Willow Lake, Alaska.

The Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race is an annual long-distance sled dog race from Anchorage to Nome. Thirty-three Mushers and their team of between 12 and 14 dogs, cover the distance in 8 to 15 days or more. The Iditarod began in 1973.

With a lack of snow along a significant portion of the traditional southern route, the race’s organizers made a decision two weeks ago to move the race from its standard starting point of Willow.

The race is really a reconstruction of the freight route to Nome and commemorates the part that sled dogs played in the settlement of Alaska.
