Snow and more snow

 Here it is February 29th and we have 36 inches of snow on the ground and still falling. So far this season we have over 118 inches of snowfall, that's a lot for an elevation of 135 feet above sea level. The record of 132.8 inches fell back in 1954-1955. We are currently the 4th snowiest season on record but may edge into 3rd place by the end of the day. It has been pretty awesome, but the poor moose are suffering with all the snow, that would be the downside to it.

Jen is staying busy with work, her project is keeping her on her toes. She is really disliking the fact that it seems to snow everyday, I keep telling her that we had such a mild winter last year that we are making up for it.

Krista is staying busy with school and working at Chili's, she seem to like her job. I noticed now that she pays for her own gas that she doesn't want to drive as many places. Hmmm, funny how that works.

Ashley is doing well in New Mexico, I think she only calls when she is bored or sick though. Must be hard being a social butterfly....lol

My brother Roy visited for 3 weeks in February, we didn't get time to really show him much of Alaska. He decided to head back to Rapid City before we got a chance to get out and take some pictures.



This is a picture taken while Ashley was home for Christmas out in the swamps by Willow Alaska.

 Another picture taken at work, just awesome how the frost looks like grass.
