[Kathy in Alaska]

All is well except the weather. The cold has gone south. Record high temps....up to almost 50, and high winds. All the snow has melted off our "flocked" trees. I live on a cul-de-sac and it is ice from curb to curb. The neighboorhood streets are slip n slid, altho the main roads are just sloppy wet, and down to clean pavement. I HATE IT!! It is winter, ya know.

Wednesday we had our first winter thunder storm. For a brief moment, the sky cleared over Mauna Kea, revealing snow down to about the 11,000' level. Lasted only about half an hour.
when I looked today, only very small patches could be seen.
It's cool here nights....great for sleeping....not for getting out of bed in the early morning though. We don't have internal heating here.....just aerobic.

No Kathy, it's not winter for another 10 days or so.
