We broke the all time winter snowfall record in Anchorage this past weekend.....134.5 inches. Here in Eagle River, where I live, we get quite a bit more snow than Anchorage (we are nestled between the mountains surrounding Eagle River valley)....so I can only guess that we may have received 160+ inches at my house this winter. Whatever the number, it's more snow than I ever want to see again in a single season, that's for sure.
But, looking on the bright side....Spring has finally arrived in Alaska, the snow is melting and the days are getting longer. I took a walk around my neighborhood this evening, with a Pentax 67 SMCP 55mm lens hanging off the front of my D700 (yup, I got the P67=>Nikon Fotodiox Pro adapter today!). Rather than post yet another photo of snow piled up as high as the street signs etc, I opted for a photo of a melting snow bank.....because MELTING is what I want to see happening now and the sooner this snow is all gone, the happier I will be! :thumbs:
Summer, a long and HOT summer...that's what I'm hoping for now. Not likely to happen up here in southcentral AK, but I hold out some small hope for a good summer, before the start of another long winter.
