Anchorage Closed Due to Ice

The advantage of living in Anchorage is supposed to be that we get snow and cold enough weather that it stays until spring and we don't have to deal too much with ice.  But that's been changing.  Here it is almost December, it's raining, and the streets are covered with wet ice. 

 

 

 

This is what if feels like when your feet find a slick patch.

But my grippers yesterday kept my feet on the ground.

And where they spread gravel on the ground it's a lot easier.

Not everything is closed.  People are driving slowly and most 

places are open including the airport.
