13" of snow today!

[flex]

It was snowing buckets at the March this morning. All of us looked like snow-encrusted penguins.  lol

Just got done making a pathway up to my front door.  Whew!  Talk about a good upper body workout.

Jealous! We haven't gotten anything this year

[flex]

This has been a good ol' real Alaskan winter this year. Sub-zero temperatures and lots of snow. We hardly had any of that last year.

And some good Samaritan neighbor has plowed a path on the sidewalks. ::blows kisses at the anonymous snow angel::

I love your home...and it's beautiful in the snow!

I love when nice neighbors help with snow removal. If they've got power equipment, it takes little time, but is appreciated so much!

Your house is adorable all lit up with the snow. I'm glad the march went on!

My poor dad is working nonstop due to the snow/temps up there and he's starting to worry me!

Does he work with the Muni?  I know the snow removal folks are happy with this weather.

He does, but he's not one of the ones raking in the overtime and loving the weather. He's watching the budget and making sure work is done efficiently and effectively.

Snow removal is a very hot topic with the public, and that's no lie.  I hope he isn't stressing out too much, but I think the Muni may be a bit out of practice with it considering the past three winters have been fairly mild.

The snow we've received in the past month is going to be great for Fur Rondy.

He's been running the show for 13 years, it's the ebs and flows I worry about. Budget cuts. Mild winters. Bad Winters. Turnover. His age. 

I moved over 6 years ago and still have to explain to friends that some "city" roads they expect to be cleared are actually maintained by the state. 

Fur Rondy and Ididarod should be good this year, as you said, so that should be good for downtown businesses.
