Snow, Snow, Snow!

Finally - it snowed 9 inches, a record snowfall for this date in Anchorage!  It was a rough drive to work, and it snowed most of the day - Brian had a day of pushing cars, keeping the driveway clean with Mary (downstairs), and waiting for the plow - which seems to never come down our street - cars just struggle through the snow!  Perfect for skiing though - they may not get the roads plowed, but somehow the trails get groomed!  Or at least rolled - there wasn't a track set yet tonight but lots of people had been out on the multi-use trails!

We skied up to Goose Lake from Valley of the Moon park, and what a beautiful night - near 30 degrees.  Brian's gone out the last two nights and skate skied for a short workout, but this is the first night that I'd skied since Thanksgiving and Sheep Mountain.  The temperature is supposed to go back down in the single digits by the weekend, but for now, it surely was an enjoyable evening.  We didn't even go out til about 8 o'clock after dinner - ya gotta love these lit trails through the city - it's really great!
