My Winter So Far

Moose tracks to nowhere. This shows six inches of snow on the level (In Valdez, we called this, “a little snow…”).

This would not be notable, if Wasilla’s average winter snowfall wasn’t about a quarter of what you see here. I don’t know if this is a real record-breaking snow season for this area, but it wouldn’t surprise me a bit. Here’s hoping when it finally warms up (it was 8 above this morning) and stays that way, it will stay warm enough to really make a difference. But drainage is good, so let ‘er rip.

What this doesn’t show is the fact that I’ve had to have it plowed four five times since the first snowfall, and have had to have the roof shoveled off once. The last snowfall for the season (hopefully) isn’t due before late in April. …sigh…
