This picture is the day after the last post, it continued to snow during the night, but dawned sunny and gorgeous the next day, Columbus Day. Greg had the federal holiday off, I took a personal day as the State of Alaska does not recognize Columbus. Let's just say he did not "discover" America. I did get today (Friday) off for Alaska Day, perhaps our response. Anyway, back to the snow, it was beautiful on Monday, we went to work on Tuesday and had a horrible two hour commute with slow winter traffic. It takes a while for the commuters to adjust to winter roads and not "ditch dive". Of course that creates rubbernecking, alaskans are the worst at rubbernecking... Tuesday it started snowing again and when we got home from work there was an additional eight (8) inches of snow on our yard and driveway, which Greg had to deal with immediately. It's what you do when you live up north... you snow blow as soon as it snows, because if you don't it will turn icy and be hard as rock. Then it turned warm and the snow started melting... and then froze at night and now it's been cold with freezing fog... everything is covered in white from the fog. You would think it was the dead of winter... but tomorrow is a new day and a new look.
