It has definitely been colder....windy too. No flocking at all on trees that I see every day....parking lots scoured down to ice. Lots of days below zero...not used to having to start my car during the working day.
My husband and I keep talking about buying more property down near the Talkeetna/Trapper Creek area. Close enough to Anchorage to have warmer winters but yet out far enough to not feel like we're close to Anchorage. LOL Hopefully this latest system will move on out and bring warmer temps to your area. We're supposed to be leaving for Anchorage on Friday morning but if it's still -50 I'm pretty sure we won't want to travel nor leave the house to fend for itself. Our son has tickets to the Ace's hockey game and I really would like to finally make the time to see the start of the Iditarod.
