I can answer that directly, as I have actually been to Nome (in May 2008 - pictures and descriptions can be found here: http://baltosource.timduru.org/board/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=22245 ).

Nowadays, the snow generally recedes completely by late May, or at the very latest by mid June. When I was up there last May, there was patchy snow drifts and banks on the ground and collected heavily in some areas (and some of the gravel roads outside of town were still snowed in and impassable), and there was pack ice and shorefast ice on the Bering Sea. On the brooks, creeks and rivers around the region, there was still a thin covering of ice (broken up in some areas). However, in each case, and all over the region, one could see signs of the spring melt. There was lots of run-off and meltwater rushing down to the Bering Sea from the surrounding hills, and the pack ice on the sea itself was broken up in places.

You can also find some limited information on Nome's climate by visiting the city website's page on weather and climate: http://www.nomealaska.org/vc/climate.htm .

Back in the 1920s, weather was a bit colder and harsher up there, and one could see heavy snow even well into June. Though even back then, there was a general melting of the snows by the end of that month, and a breakup of any pack ice by then as well. I've seen historical pictures of Nome and the surrounding region (and the Bering Sea) which proves that conclusively.

Hope that helps! If you need anymore help with this, don't be afraid to PM me!

It says it here, on wikipedia : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nome,_Alaska#Geography_and_climate I know its wikipedia..xD But, meh, should do for a fanfic. It says the temperatures around each month, which should give you a general idea of the month...
