Umm.....brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Mild winter my ass. Last winter was harsh with tons of snow and cold temps. Naturally, locals say that a mild winter is bound to follow. So much for local knowledge.
Kodiak broke a record for snow fall on Christmas Eve with a whopping 18". That nice little snow fall was thoughtfully accompanied by 80 mph winds. Our neighbors recorded a gust of 110 mph. So, yep, looks like a mild winter indeed. Oh yeah...did I mention that is 9 frigging degrees right now?
There are a few bonuses to this weather, however.
#1: New snowshoes
I got a pair for Christmas and am actually getting some use of out of them.


#2: It's beautiful!!!
Cold temps usually mean crystal clear blue skies and the last few days have not disappointed.
