Original Message:   You're absolutely right, a warm current can have a huge effect.
There's a village on west coast of Scotland called Plockton which has palm trees growing along the harbour wall, and Plockton is on roughly the same latitude as Sitka, in SW Alaska. (It's actually slightly further north.) That's the effect of a warm current called the Gulf Stream.
