Nasty Weather

Spruce Cape waves at sunset

Right now it is 43 degrees outside, blowing 50 mph, and pouring (no kidding - there was just a 67 mph gust at the airport).  Ughhhhhhhhh.  That is Nasty weather.  It has been blowing and raining for the last few days, and looks to continue doing so for the foreseeable future.  Until today it was not so bad - at least we were getting snow on the mountain.  But today I fear that the 'boiling water' is decimating our snow pack.  40 degrees seems to be about the break point between a 'good' and 'bad' storm.

Right now I am worried about the trees by the house.  They are REALLY bending and swaying - doing the storm dance.  And then later when I take the dogs for a walk they will come home all muddy - double ughhhhhhh.  Mud, brown, wind, and blah.  That's what we get with a warm winter in Kodiak.  Patrick

I took this picture after sunset out at Spruce Cape

So far we've been gaining snow - yesterday at the bottom of the jibber bowl

Wednesday's snow on the mountain


Abercrombie waves and cliffs
