spring number 5

Last weekend Lois Ann and i went to Anchorage. Guess what? It was pouring down rain in the mountains. We have about 2 feet of snow in Nikiski on the ground. Near Cooper Landing and in the mountains there was almost no snow on the ground and snow started about half-way up the mountains. Turnagain Pass had about the same amount of snow as us. This has been a very strange and warm winter. It is not like it was in 1888, shown in the photo below. You can click on the photo for a bigger view.
