Winter in Alaska

What it's like to be an Alaskan...




Hehehe, and that's about right.  Winter started around Halloween and we're just starting to come into the end (hopefully) and into spring, though we're not there yet!  There's still alot of snow on the ground and it has still snowed off and on in the last week.  The last couple of days have been in the 30's (positive 30's, that is) and the roads are a big mess!  Probably half of the roads here are dirt and when the snow started melting so fast, the roads went from slick ice and packed snow to a big muddy mess.

If the warmer weather keeps up, the ice road and river will thaw out soon so that no one can drive on them anymore.  Too bad, we never got a chance to drive up the river to see the villages.  Maybe next year.
