Lack of snow forces the permanent relocation of the Iditarod dog sled race in Alaska

According to the Washington Post, the starting line of the famous Iditarod dog sled race in Alaska has been permanently moved due to a lack of snow. Since 2003, the old starting line hasn't had enough snow to accommodate the dog sleds. After repeatedly moving the starting line, the race organizers finally made the change permanent.

During the Iditarod's ceremonial beginning in Anchorage, snow had to trucked in from more remote locations in order to cover the streets.
