One heck of a photo from Alaska

The National Weather Service is saying we might get up to 20 inches of snow by morning, while conservative estimates land around 13-14".

Sweet. Just what we need on top of the 52 odd inches we've already seen this winter.

But, as in all things, it's all relative. My friend Fred Bryan of Oftencold.com lives in Alaska, and when I mentioned the 20" he didn't even think it worthy of acknowledgment.

There are advantages to living in the boonies though - check out the visitors on Fred's back porch:

  2. No, that's the porch of my friend up in Alaska. I reread the post and realized I hadn't made that clear; I've edited it to stress the location. Sorry about that. Heck of a shot tho', eh?

  4. OMG...if that doesn't help make it worth it living there! I'm just in awe! I always wanted to go to southern IL when they have the Eagles coming which I think is soon. 20 inches...OMG! So the kids will get a snow day now...ha! They are saying we will get 5-7 inches tomorrow morning to early afternoon. I love hawks but eagles are next!

  9. Astaryth -

    Here's hoping his site is updated. Last time I checked it'd been more than two YEARS since his last post. I guess he prefers to wile away his free time on message boards nowadays.

  13. After talking to my daughter I had to come back and relook at the comments and log, I first thought they were turkeys as we had them at our branch office...

    But as a second look, they are not turkeys and they are cool, great to be an American..lol
