    I'm no expert but believe that husky's shed twice a year. I have a St. Bernard and she sheds something terrible- twice a year, a summer coat and a winter coat.
    I'd say it's normal but if you're really concerned bring him to the vet to have his coat and skin checked.

    Look up some husky sites/resources, and you'll fall over info talking about how much they shed.

    It hasn't helped that this winter has been really mild, which is throwing things off balance for them. Of my lot, one if shedding like mental right now. There will be a lot of hair any time they shed, and it will get everywhere. Twice a year usually. They "blow their coat", and if not used to it, you'll be freaked, the amount of hair that comes out and how it comes out.... Don't be alarmed though, all part of owning a Husky :)

    Invest in some grooming tools, a slicker brush, undercoat rake.

    My Logan, a large collie cross, is shedding like crazy. We have 4 shelties and a collie german shepard cross as well and there is hair everywhere and its only from Logan. I think its the mild weather, he's shedding way more than normal
