It forgot to snow in Alaska?

It has been interesting hearing the weather in Vancouver, B.C. being discussed.  But that didn't really come as any surprise to the locals.  When Vancouver received the bid for the 2010 Winter Olympics, the possibility of the temperatures being warm and snow being scarce was understood.

How could that happen?  Making clouds is as easy as this:



And, besides, everyone knows this is how Alaska looks:
