Snowy Days

This entry was published at least two years ago (originally posted on November 29, 2006). Since that time the information may have become outdated or my beliefs may have changed (in general, assume a more open and liberal current viewpoint). A fuller disclaimer is available.

Three more header images have been added to the rotation up above, all taken over the past few days of snowfall.

Y’know, I moved out of Anchorage to get away from this kind of weather. ;)

It’s been entertaining, though, amid all the frustrations. The mall was dead yesterday, as nobody wanted to go out on a jaunt, so the Powers That Be sent out a notice that the stores could close whenever they wanted so that their employees could get home safe and sound. We had some higher-ups coming through to check the store out, so we weren’t actually able to close until around 8:30, but still — it was nice that we had the option and could close when we got the chance.

Seen lots of accidents, photos of accidents, and stories of accidents. The local news is a hoot, from the perspective of an ex-Alaskan — the first twenty minutes of each broadcast can be boiled down to, “stay home, it’s slippery and you don’t know how to drive.” Then, maybe, if there isn’t a new front moving in, they might fill us in on some of what’s going on in the rest of the world.

And that’s it. Blizzard 2006 in progress. Whee!
