Half of my life is spent at 59 degrees North latitude on the shores of Alaska's Kachemak Bay. The other half is spent at 70 degrees North latitude on the Central Beaufort Sea Coast. Lots happens in between, too, in this land known as The Last Frontier.

Let The Games Begin


Winter Kings


We got pounded with snow recently in true maritime fashion. The temperature was hovering right around freezing and it just started dumping on us. It took a small break, the storm circled out to sea for some more moisture, and it came right back onshore and hit us again. Total accumulation at sea level was about 2 1/2  feet.  I had to go out and shovel the driveway a few times because my fear was that it would start raining and then freeze hard, in which case you are totally screwed. Besides, if I hadn't shoveled it out, we would have been stuck in for days.    
Fiona was in her Chariot being towed by momma, but she wasn't really that keen about the whole snow scene. Not a good omen for a tough Alaskan chick.

    Was the snow really up to your hips? I sympathize with Fiona!
