No these pictures are not being taken in West Yellowstone! What is so special about a little snow in Ketchikan--it IS Alaska right? Well, living in a rain forest doesn't really allow for much snow. In fact, according to Wikipedia online encyclopedia Ketchikan's annual precipitation is 152 inches (12.67 FEET!), but the annual snowfall is only 37 inches. Last winter it snowed a couple times (maybe 3 times?), but never lasted more than one day. The rain would come and wash all of it away. These pictures show how much snow we have received in the past two days--almost our ANNUAL average in one shot! It is raining now and will be gone tomorrow, but in the meantime even church is cancelled! Silly! I would think Alaskan's would be able to handle a little bit of snow, but I guess not!
This is our back yard.
The snow is so wet and heavy it weighs the trees down.
We took Max out to play today. First we went up into the mountains as far as we could go in the mighty Suby and then let Max out to lead the way back to the road. Then we took him to the park to run around in the snow.
But even the Mighty Suby couldn't make it back into OUR OWN DRIVEWAY! One of my stuntmen shoveled our driveway Thursday night so all of this is new since then.
