Snow - Still Here, Still Covering The Ground, But Its Days Are Numbered

 

 It's been a cold winter and it's been a snowy winter.  

On March 9, 2025 - there was no snow in our back yard. 

Today, March 27, 2026 - the yard is covered with about a foot of snow.

Until last week, I was leaving the house around 9:15 am in below 0˚F weather. 

Last week all our high temperatures were below the normal low temperature. [Tried to post this a week ago, but I couldn't get Blogger to accept my photos, so two weeks ago our teams were way below normal.)

This past week the temps have shifted up slightly.  My I've walked to Lake Otis School in below +10˚F each day.  Highs have been 28˚-31˚F.  And it's been sunny.  The weather app shows us slowly moving up in the next ten days.

But it finally looks like were going to shift upward, slowly

We're having bright sunny days and the snow is evaporating more than melting because the temps have been below 32˚ F.  

Most of our street is ice free because the Municipality had plows out scrapping the snow and ice off the pavement.  Thought there is a bad spot down at the corner at Lake Otis.  

Some of the evaporating snow is pretty dirty.

But a lot starts to look like clouds and cotton candy as the water is sucked out.

And in some spots it drips.

As I mentioned, this was supposed to go up a few days ago.  I had hoped to put up pictures of Anchorage's No Kings Day yesterday, but having trouble loading pictures here.  That seems to have been overcome and I'll get the No Kings Pics up soon.
