Alaska's Winter Horizon

Alaska's Winter Horizon

End of winter?

Finally, the first days have come since last fall that our temperatures are not going to fall below freezing overnight! Well, that is what they have in the forecast. We'll see. Either way, the sun and the warm temperature of 50 degrees today felt fantastic!
 This morning a friend and I took our weekly walk. The lakes and streams are still frozen.
 The parkstrip has lots of snow remaining on the ground.
 As we walked along the coastal trail, we could see a boat headed toward the port.
 Here is Mount Susitna, also known as Sleeping Lady. You can see how it got this nickname from this view.
 That boat looks kinda small next to those big mountains!
 Another view across the frozen mud flats of Sleeping Lady.
 Here is the trail we walked upon. I am still wearing my hiking boots while walking. Maybe I will be able to switch over to my tennis shoes for our walks soon.
 Hopefully the forecast will come true and we will be able to dig the grill out for next weekend. The sizzle of burgers and hot dogs will be the official start of spring for Greg!
