Winter has finally arrived for those up in the Anchorage area. January has brought us over 2 feet of snow that has managed to stay with us. It is a far cry from our previous winters. We even had a 24 hour brush with a Chinook wind that set our snow to melting at a crazy rate but 48 hours later we received another 6-8 inches of snow. As far as I am concerned it can snow and keep snowing until breakup time, I love the white stuff!! Although photographing it right now is difficult as I have broken my only wide angle lens which makes catching these breathtaking winter scenes near impossible to do. But never fear, starting this week I should have it fixed and ready and able to get out and show you how stark and amazing Alaska looks when she is all dressed up for winter.
