Not much worse than glazed feed and footing for killing sheep this time of year... famine and falls are especially tough on the old rams.

Doesn't do pedestrians any favors either. But the driveway skating is incredible this year.
Not a great year to be Chugach ram. Especially because I burned $15 on DS123, and I'm pretty sure this is the year.

Another week and the ridges will almost certainly be bare...
Everything is terribly glazed here at sea level.

If the warm weather can continue and get hills down to grass again, it would could be good!
Driving to FBX is nasty!
I imagine things down around Turnagain Arm are nasty also.

I imagine things down around Turnagain Arm are nasty also. Just got back from being gone a month to various countries overseas and have not gone south since getting back, but you are likely right.

My thermometer shows 50!
Watched a spruce down the street bending right over and looking weak about an hour ago. Went to the window just now as big freight train gust was honking and over it came. Fortunately it looks like it only hit pavement.
Gusts are supposed to make 75.

Was a bit breezy this morning. It's the first time I've heard the windows shaking in our Anchorage office.
The problem is in spite of the warm blast the ground has had a sufficient freeze so there's still a layer of ice on everything.

A friend in Seward just had a flock of Canada Geese land in his yard.....WTH?
Maybe some of those that hang out at Middleton Island got blown in.

This type of weather doesn't do the brown bears any favors either. We lost some bears the last few years,, old and weak probably die in the den when they flood with 0 snow cover.
I tend to use more than enough gun
