April Fool's month. That must be what is going on, because we got six more inches of snow last night and it's still snowing. It's still snowing. Did you hear that? It's still snowing! And it's April! This is insane. It's like it's going to be winter forever. The Snow Queen has taken up residence in Fairbanks. I might as well invest in a dog sled team and a sled. If this keeps up even 4WD isn't going to cut it.
And it's windy. That's just plain weird for Fairbanks.
I'd post a picture but I'm out of batteries for the camera...but hang on...maybe....the batteries in the camera are dead, but I think I have some that are only "mostly dead".... (guess which movie I watched yesterday?)...
See that expanse of snow in the foreground? That's my porch. There's supposed to be a step there....and a porch!
Contrary to what many think, Alaska is NOT covered in ice and snow 12 months of the year. In March the snow starts melting, and if it doesn't start melting in March, it starts melting in April. By the end of April it's mostly brown. Then in May it greens up. All the trees bust out in leaves within a week of each other and it's just amazing. We run around in shorts and t-shirts all summer, and it can get up to 100 degrees in June.
Our weather patterns, just like everyone else's, are all crazy now.
