MAR 27, 14 .. AN ALASKAN 'SNOW PLOW' ..

Our friend 'Zilla asked me about the 'large piles of snow' that I have shown in previous posts and 'how they occur'.

To refresh you on these large piles-of-snow .. below are two photos of them.



Up here in Alaska .. we have Alaska-Sized ('Zilla Sized?) Snow Plows!


"Cap .. That's a front-end-loader!" 

"Yes .. A large one 'Zilla!"

Another large pile of snow.

 
"Well my friend 'Zilla .. you asked me about the origins of the large piles of snow .. above and below is your answer!"



 You can see that our snow is now 'melting'.


Melting or not .. there is still 'ample' snow up here at the end of the month of March!


The below photo looks out from our living room onto our backyard. You can see that the snow is indeed melting.


Below is what the above view from our living room looked like a week or so ago.  Quite a difference!



The following two photos below show the same tree today and a week or so ago.


In the below photo you can see that a week ago there was much more snow on the above tree. In the photo below you can also see that there was much more snow on the surrounding ground as well!
 

 
Note at the right side of the above photo another pile-of-snow!
 

We call the melting-of-the-snow 'Break Up'.  As you can see in the below photo it is a bit-of-a-WET-MESS!


In sections of the road that are relatively 'dry' .. much of the road surface is still icy and very 'slick'. 

 
More water and more piles-of-snow.

 
 
Now you see it (my truck under the snow) a week or so ago.


 
 
Now you don't (see it under any snow) today.
 
 

 
'Zilla e-mailed me today saying .. in effect .. "Cap you can have the snow and you can have the cold.  Today it is 70 Degrees and dry in the High Desert in California!"
 
 
'Zilla I WILL TAKE IT! 
 
Smiles from Cap and from Patti
 
 
I wish I knew why today Blogspot has allowed me to post ALL of the photos in this post in the Extra Large Size!  It has been MONTHS since I have been able to post the XL Sized photos that I really prefer!

MAR 15, 14 .. SNOW IN ALASKA? ON MARCH 15th .. YES!

The Iditarod has come .. The Iditarod has gone!

The victory banquet for the winner of the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race .. Dallas Seavy and all mushers and fans who are in Nome Alaska and able to attend .. will be tomorrow evening Sunday the 16th. Complete results of one-of-the-best-ever finishes in the history of The Iditarod will be found at the incredible web site .. http://iditarod.com/ .. along with many articles and photos and other items-of-interest.

Last night .. here in Anchorage Alaska .. we had a 'dusting-of-snow' so I thought I would post a few photos for those-of-you who find photos of snow fun and interesting.

I realize that anyone living in the Northern States adjacent to Canada and the North Eastern States and many of the Southern States of the United States of America will NOT find photos of snow to be of any interest to you at all!

All the below photos are in and around our condo here in Anchorage Alaska.

Looking out at our backyard area.


To enlarge all of the below photos please put your computer 'cursor' onto the photo and then quickly double-LEFT-click on the photo with your computer 'mouse'.

 
Looking out from our bedroom towards the front yard area.


Looking out of the above window with it fully-open.


The vehicle on the left in the first photo below is our Chevrolet Suburban quietly resting in his mantle-of-snow.
 
 
 
 
Below are several photos of the area in front of our condo.


 
 
For now .. That's All Folks .. Smiles .. Cap and Patti
