Our early morning flight was on a plane that had a couple of inches of snow on the wings, not to mention snow on the windows.
But the deicing machines came and cleared the snow and ice off. There's a short Smithsonian video about deicing planes at the Anchorage International Airport. Interesting tidbit in the video is that the Anchorage Airport has never been shut down because of snow.
And once we were up in the air, we went through a fantasy world of clouds.
The video does a reasonable job of capturing magic of flying through this cloud forest.
In Seattle the ground was wet, but the sun was out. We took the train to the ferry and the ferry to Bainbridge, where we still had a magical cloudscape.
