A horse grazes in a field off Farmers Loop on Monday, May 12, 2008, with a grove of budding birch trees behind it. The green buds on trees signal the arrival of greenup in Fairbanks, which officially occurred on Sunday, according to meteorologist Ted Fathauer at the National Weather Service in Fairbanks. Greenup is a few days later than past years because of the cool spring, Fairbanks area forester Marc Lee with the Division of Forestry said the process has been happening earlier in recent years because of warmer spring temperatures. The earliest greenup on record at the weather service is April 29, 1993, and the latest is May 30, 1964. “Once buds break, within a few days the leaves are out," Lee said. "It doesn’t take long. You can almost see it change in a given day.”
