And elsewhere we are having moderate winter temps in Alaska with almost no accumulations of snowfall, especially here in Wasilla.

The Iditarod has for over the last 5 years has had to start OTHER than the traditional re-start in Wasilla, they have to truck in snow for the dogs to run on in Anchorage for the TV “start” but the traditional start has been moving steadily north every year.

Because we are losing snowfall in South Central Alaska.

At least you guys in the lower 48 don’t have our literal 6 months of winter. Take care, have heat and power backups, plenty of games, a portable radio, food and water.

Unless its an emergency stay off the roads.

Ya think not?

It started snowing in early November THIS year and likely as not will still be snowing in April. We've had snow on Mother's Day too many times. (Which isn't frequent but I can remember twice clearly in the last 15 years.)

Do that every year.

Mr. mm had to go into work today so I threw in the cot and sleeping bag into the car we have ready. If told him that if he gets into work, he may need it.

I made sure to say *if*. He noticed and just looked at me.

It's not nice out now but it looks like we're in for a break in a few hours so I'll shovel out then, before we get pounded.

I was in the local Wegman's yesterday, stocking up on perishables, and the place was deserted. But it was sunny out and the roads were clear.

The place is going to be an absolute madhouse today as people, who don't watch the weather and prepare, do all their panic buying.
