Winter Continues

I thought you might like an update on our local weather. So, here is something from the Juneau Empire photo by Brian Wallace.
LOCAL Juneau Empire An avalanche slides down Mount Roberts on Wednesday above Thane Road. The state Department of Transportation and Public Facilities fired several avalanche-control shots with a 105-millimeter howitzer at the sites above the road.
And, from Yahoo, a severe weather alert:
POSSIBLE WINTER STORM OVER THE WEEKEND...

A STRONG WINTER STORM IS EXPECTED TO MOVE NORTHEAST INTO THE EASTERN GULF EARLY SATURDAY. THIS STORM WILL LIKELY TO BRING POSSIBLE HEAVY SNOWFALL...ESPECIALLY OVER THE SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL PANHANDLE SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT. STRONG NORTH TO NORTHEAST WINDS COMBINED WITH BITTER COLD TEMPERATURES MAY PRODUCE WIND CHILLS OF 30 BELOW OR COLDER OVER THE FAR NORTHERN PANHANDLE. TAKU WINDS WILL ALSO LIKELY TO DEVELOP LATE FRIDAY NIGHT AND CONTINUING INTO SATURDAY IN THE DOWNTOWN JUNEAU AND DOUGLAS AREAS.

And of course, here, we have had a few unusual days in the 70's---soon roller-coastering back to just above freezing at the start of the week.

Still winter here too J. It's pretty WHITE out there. We're actually having some sun today...and things look like they're melting. Fine with me. I'm tired of having my snow shovel glued to my side.

So much unusual weather everywhere...stay warm sweetie...

Thanks for the weather update. I feel like such a wimp...a slight chill in the air has me shivering!!
(However, we're pretty close to the lastest deadly tornadoes, so that's always loomin over our heads.)
