We spent the Christmas holiday break with our families and friends in Tennessee. It was great to see everyone again. It was also nice to see the sun for a change! The temps were quite cool the whole time we were there. Most of the trip the temps in Memphis were colder than Anchorage!
Greg flew back home on December 30th and enjoyed a few days of not shoveling snow.
However, that didn't last long. I flew home on January 3rd and was greeted with steady snow and treacherous roads.
As you can tell from this pic of the wooden fence, the sun never gets direct or warm enough to melt the snow.
The fresh snow did brighten things back up. Greg did not enjoy shoveling the sidewalks and driveway!
Even with the new six or so inches of snow, we still have had less than half of our normal snowfall for the season. In fact, there is no more snow in the forecast until next weekend. Guess those poor folks in the lower states are getting our share.
It had also been forecast that this would be a colder than usual winter
for us. That has also not happened as our temps have been quite
tolerable thus far, but in Alaska you never know!
