And then the Sun Rose Again

November 15th:That lovely pretty fabulous amazing snow multiplied the other day, so I spent another couple of hrs shoveling some snow. And then when you start thinking about how lovely all this snow is, we get a storm. Not just any storm, but rain/ice drizzle, the temperature increased 20F according to the airport, 20F in one and a half hour, How is that even possible?? .. All that wonderful beautiful snow that had been accumulated, even though I swore over it while shoveling....it all got destroyed. Such a disappointment. I literally thought the roof was going to fly off during the night, and woke up every now and then by some loud noise, making me go downstairs and check that everything was fine.

Well in the morning the snow looked just like it usually does after a couple of days with warm temperatures in the spring. All dirty with needles and branches all over the place. Made me sad. And I refused to take any pictures at all of the disaster. But it started to snow again today. And I should be happy, cause a lot of my friends don't have any power at all. I do, and even if I didn't I still would be able to heat up the cabin with my wood stove, so I should be lucky!

Have a happy weekend!

Good morning

November 10th:Saturday continued pretty smoothly, by the afternoon it started to snow. And then it snowed and snowed and snowed. And this morning it still snowed. Was greeted by this pretty view early in the morning:

I measured the snow on the steps off my porch and concluded that at least 5 inches had accumulated. So I think around 6 inches in total from yesterday until now. But who knows what the final number will be...

Morning trips to the outhouse

Morning business to the outhouse generated deep tracks in the snow...:

Sunday chore, shoveling snow..

And finally after the sun rose I decided to take that big step of shoveling...:

Be careful what you Wish for..

November 8th, So these past days winter has finally arrived. We went from nothing to hardcore winter Alaska style in the matter of a few days. Weather forecast calls for snow, so maybe on Sunday we will get some more snow. Right now it's borderline to skiing, snow wise that is.

Temperatures have been, coldish. I mean not that cold, but still coldish, as in -8F. Right now however it's a lot warmer, 10F.

Morning

Oh yeah, the Aurora was out and about again the other day. Not as good as it was the other week, but still. It makes me happy.

Aurora

Happy Weekend!
