Towns around Prince William Sound are making the national news for the amount of snowfall they've received this winter. Here in Anchorage, we're on our way to setting records, too. As of today, snowfall is more than twice the normal amount for this date (89"). Almost 2' of that fell in the last two weeks. Those are the official numbers that are measured at the airport, which is about 8 miles west as the raven flies from our house. The airport is by the inlet; we are on the hillside of the Chugach Mountains and typically get more snow here than there. Paul is getting a little tired of firing up the snowblower and is having trouble getting the snow up and over the berms around our driveway and walkways. He's named the pile in the corner of the driveway and below the deck: Mount Snowmore.Here are a few photos of our yard from June and from yesterday.
