Thats nothing compared to what we just had in Alaska, at least 2 feet at my house and almost 6 feet not too far south of me.
Are we shut down?
NOPE, matter of fact business is booming, every redneck with a plow in the state has a job, snowmachine shops are working overtime, and maybe for a long time we may actually have the restart of the Iditarod here in Wasilla.
People fail to see the silver lining in the dark clouds.
2 feet of snow!!!
Now THAT would cripple us.
But am glad it’s good for business there and hats off to the people of Wasilla! You’ve got the “right stuff”, that’s for sure!
Are we shut down?
NOPE!"
Of course, your highway department's snowplows are 15 feet tall battleships with blades as big as a garage door up there. :-)
We just got 1.5' down in the valley and several feet up in the mountains. I have over a foot in the front yard and the city roads just started drying up after a week of slippery ice.
Our first snowfall after summer was on September 30th, and we had 90 degree weather two weeks before that. That beats all records, I'm told.
I'm basically in the extended Eastern Sierra range next to Lake Tahoe.
For those of you Freepers who are championship skiiers and want conditions like you can only find in the Swiss Alps and the Rockies, get on a plane to Reno soon as you can. It's shaping up to be a snowy winter like few can remember in recent history.
