Why is it called breakup?
The term 'breakup' in Alaska, which refers to spring, is unique to the region. It stems from the process of ice literally 'breaking up' and snow melting and turning to slush. In winter, rivers freeze into solid sheets of ice, sometimes strong enough to hold vehicles. But when 'breakup' arrives, that ice melts and starts breaking away into pieces. This not only has a literal meaning but also signifies a change in lifestyle for Alaskans. It's time to 'break up' with their favorite winter activities like skiing, snowshoeing, and skating, and embrace new pastimes as the ice and snow melt.
As early as the last week of March, Alaska experiences a weather pattern unlike any other, a blend of winter and summer. However, unlike other states further south, the snow in Alaska doesn't disappear overnight. It takes its time to melt away, making way for new growth. This gradual transition, this unique blend of winter and summer, is what makes 'breakup' a more fitting term to describe this season in Alaska.
Was outside at the right time last night, in the East South East sky at about 38 Degrees, object breaking up at a 45 Degree angle. Was my first Meteorite breakup, falling apart as it descended to oblivion. Was in the process of taking picture of faint object in sky, Exposure is approx. 1 min 24 seconds prior to release of shutter. Used a Nikkor 55-300 mm lens, set at 100mm @ F/5.6 ratio / taken w/Nikon D3200 Iso 800

TOTW - The breakup (a la' Flyleaf ~ All Around Me.)
This didn't turn out quite as I'd planned, but let me just say - it was kind of cute, G and I crammed against the wall of the bathroom with Dante watching us from the sink with the tripod towering over him...it was stuffy and uncomfortable and oh so precious. :)
I'm not unhappy with it. Hell. I got 339 more days....do I really need to be that picky???
I think not. heh.
Tomorrow is Friday. ;-) Woot. *grin*
I'm gonna go have a whiskey sour and shut up. LOL.
xoxo goodnight.
I was trying to capture the feel of spring breakup on the Winnipeg River. I think this is probably my best effort.
On a glorious sunny day the Yukon River in Whitehorse, Yukon is breaking out of winter's grip, leaving these huge chunks of ice and snow in the shallows.

Here we often speak of "Breakup" more than "Spring." Breakup referring to when the ice breaks up and moves out from the rivers. On the Tanana River by Fairbanks the ice went out last week and the river is now free-flowing, but there are still large chunks of ice present and melting along the banks.
The Tanana River is the major tributary of the mighty Yukon River, where breakup is still occurring and this year wreaking havoc on villages and residents.

“So um...what are you drinking?” Peter inquired
“Oh...champagne...I think? I haven’t ever done this before” Gwen replied
“You’re drinking?”
“Gotta get rid of the blues somehow…”
“The blues?”
“You act as if the breakup was easy for me”
“I vaguely remember you dumping me.”
“Peter I...I didn’t want to break up with you.”
“Then why did you do it, Gwen? Why did you leave?”
“I did it because I was tired of being hurt. I loved you, Peter. Everything was so good...it was like a fairy tale, but you pushed me away too much.”
Peter grabbed her hand and looked her in the eyes. “Then let’s go back to what we had Gwen. It doesn’t have to be over for us. We can work through this...together.”
“Peter…” Gwen trailed off as she let go of his hand. “It's not that easy,” Gwen sadly muttered.
“Why can’t it be that easy? We still love each other! Why can’t we go back to what we had? Why can’t we be together?”
“Because life isn’t easy Peter. I’m leaving the state and you’re going to ESU. We’d have to bend over backward to see each other and I really don’t want to do long distance."
“But Gwen...isn’t what we had worth it? Our happiness together...we can go back to that.”
“The past is the past Peter...we can start again, but we can never go back to what we had."
“Gwen...we can. We can be happy with each other again.”
“I just don’t know Peter...I don’t know if I’m ready to try again,” she said as she pulled away her hand. “Things like this need time…time I don’t think we have,” Gwen said as the elevator dinged once again which caught the attention of Norman Osborn.
“Ah, this must be Mr. Stark. Please excuse me,” Norman commented to the people he was talking to and began to walk to the door. But when the doors opened it was not the eccentric, billionaire, playboy, Tony Stark. It was another man wearing a tan trench coat with goggles on his face. His hair was brown and cut in a bowl cut but was split displaying his forehead.
“Hello Norman,” the figure said confidently as he walked towards Norman Osborn, the guests slowly shuffling out of his way.
“Wh-Who are you and why are you at my gathering?” Norman asked the figure with a slight panic to his voice.
The figure laughed coldly in response. “Oh Norman, don’t pretend like you don’t know me. We both know we share such a rich history,” the figure said continually walking toward Norman.
“What do you want... O-Otto?”
“What do I want? Well...I want to see your fraudulent empire collapse to the ground in a heaping pile of hell’s fire. But this can all be avoided,” the figure said as a prosthetic arm slithered out of his coat holding a camera. “I want you to spread every little secret you have to the world in one massive apology.”
“Like I would-” Norman started.
“Dad!” Harry yelled as he ran up to his dad. “Dad please...just do what he wants. Please do what he wants. Just put your pride away for one second and apologize for whatever you’ve done to this man.”
Norman Osborn looks at his soon then back to Otto with a grimace. “The only one that should be sorry is you for leaving Oscorp because you were only relevant when you worked for me!” Norman shouted at Otto
Otto laughed in response. “You should’ve listened to your son Otto...now you will be responsible for the tragedies that happen tonight,” Otto said as three more tentacles slowly emerged from his vest. “Now Toomes!” A moment passed before Adrian Toomes crashed through the window and smoke began to fill the room. Most guests screamed in peril and began to attempt to flee the room but they were stopped as Mysterio appeared to be in every door. A mechanical laugh filled the room as Electro hovered in through the window. Across the room Peter witnessed all of this.
“Gwen I have to go...you have to go. As soon as you get the chance please get the hell out of here,” Peter said as he began to walk away but Gwen grabbed his hand.
“Peter what do you think you’re doing? Where are you going?” Gwen inquired.
“I...I can’t tell you that. Please just listen to me and no matter what you see...just keep running,” Peter said as he pulled his hand away.
“Peter Parker look at me!” Gwen shouted which caused Peter to turn back in response. “Tell me what’s happening”.
Peter walked over to Gwen and hugged her. He then let go and looked her in the eye and kissed her. “I love you, Gwen Stacy…” Peter then ran off from her as he heard her screaming his name. He then leaped into an air vent and crawled until he reached another room. He jumped down from the vent and swiftly took off his vest and dress pants to reveal his Spider suit. He then put the mask on and took a deep breath. “You can do this Pete...you can do this.” He then took a few steps back and leaped out the window.
We have zoomed up into the forties after enduring weeks and weeks of sub-zero temperatures. The snow is turning to mush - people are taking off their parkas, and either going around in shirt sleeves, or sweatshirts.
Doc and I drove into Glennallen this morning and saw huge puddles forming everywhere. On the way back home, a big black cloud opened up and actually rained on us.
Caribou have been spotted gathering in small herds and heading north to the birthing grounds.
Now I will finally concede, that spring has arrived in Alaska.

When the year drew towards the end and closed with Christmas I started dating someone. We even lasted for the magical seven weeks. It ended this January. I made an island in Second Life with a grave on it. There our relation lies buried cried over by my blue stick man.
