Ok, ok, my bad. I was gone for another week. I have no real excuse other than I was exhausted and wanted to sleep a lot. On Friday, we got another blizzard. It dumped a couple feet of snow overnight, but it was very powdery, so the snow drifts could be quite high. It was about 3 feet in a lot of places on base. For a while, it was ok even though it snowed maybe another foot. Then Tuesday it stopped snowing and started raining. While it was nice and melted a lot of the snow, we now have a lot of ice everywhere. Tuesday night when I left work it was like an ice rink everywhere. It's still snowing, which is a blessing and a curse. Things aren't as slippery now, but it's hard to see the ice and it can still take you by surprise.
This same storm system moved through Cordova. In the past few weeks, they have gotten 18 feet of snow. The National Guard has had to dig them out. Here, the combination of snow and rain has sunk many boats in the harbor. Oops. Since I have no personal funny stories (yet) here are some pictures I've taken of the frozen bay.
