We're going to have a white Christmas!


Blizzard Warning

Statement as of 4:03 PM AKST on December 24, 2008

... Blizzard Warning in effect from 6 am to 4 PM akst Thursday...

The National Weather Service in Anchorage has issued a Blizzard
Warning... which is in effect from 6 am to 4 PM akst Thursday.

An area low pressure moving through the Kuskokwim Delta will
bring strong winds and significant snowfall to the Kuskokwim
Delta. Snowfall is developing this evening and will continue
through the night... but the blizzard conditions will occur during
the day Thursday as the low pressure passes and strong northwest
winds gusting to 50 mph kick in. Snow will taper off from west to
east late Thursday afternoon with the winds decreasing Thursday
night... allowing blizzard conditions to subside.

A Blizzard Warning means severe winter weather conditions are
expected or occurring. Falling and blowing snow with strong winds
and poor visibilities are likely. This will lead to white-out
conditions... making travel extremely dangerous. All travel and
outdoor activity is strongly discouraged.

LOL, last year's poem...

'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house

Not a CDer typing or moving the mouse

Their questions on Alaska posted with care

In hopes that everyone there had something to share



The CDers were nestled all snug in their beds,

While visions of Alaska danced in their heads;

And people looking for things they can add

"I know more than you" is the current fad

When out desk there rose such a clatter,

I sprang to the chair to see whats the matter.

Away to the computer desk with no waver

Tore open the browser and woke it up from the screen saver


The screen on the computer of star trek marquee

Made your mind think of space travel and say...."weeeee"

When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,

But a "you've got mail" sounded so near

With a little old driver, so old and so slow

I knew in a moment to AOL I must go

More slower and old the messages came,

You curse and yell out loud this computer is lame;

"I must buy a Mac! or a PC, No Dell and maybe HP

Or Sony! or Gateway! or, Toshiba! and Panasonic!

To the top of the desk! to the top of my lap!

Now Buy away! Bill me Later! Put it on my Tap!

How will they ship it? by ground or by air?

"We don't ship to Alaska" is all i hear

So up to the old desktop, the cursers they worked,

This old wired mouse i pulled and jerked


And then in Alaska room , I read "where do you Fish?"

I'd love to come up there one of these days I wish"

This kind of questions would get most mad.


As I read all the entries, and was goofing around,

someone asked "where is all the fun to be found?".

Rance would answer it and i'd think "oh neat',

I thought to myself, "I need to go there, too, sounds pretty sweet"

A bundle of questions all in a rack,

like "i'd like to drive the alcan and take the ferry back.

"Don't take the Alcan take the Ferry!

Some would answer "The Alcan can be Scary!"

I think to myself if they never drove it, how would they know?,

Someone says, "watch for the RV's They drive to darn slow"

Some think its not paved and it'll rattle your teeth,

and we all know that its paved and the rough is beneath;

What is there to do in Fairbanks? signed Shelly,

Arctic said "drive to Dick's Halfway Inn, they'll fill your belly"

Then someone asked what muktuk was, I said, 'its all fat',

And I laughed when I read that to myself;

User2 knew everything to me as I read,

I hope he doesn't get mad or shoot me dead;

Xa'at just put her two week notice at work,

"I'm on my way home to Alaska" we all smile with a smirk

Goddess just posted another smiley with a funny pose,

Thats just her way of having fun, i suppose

I hope that I didn't leave anyone out on this list

And I hope they read this in fun and not get dissed.

I hope you know I wrote this in fun, right?,

Merry Christmas my fellow Alaskan CDers and goodnight!

Merry Christmas

Here's a poem I'd like to share with you this morning:

Today is the day that I most like the best, I was up all night and couldn't get any rest. With the presents all plundered from underneath our tree, it's now off to my mother's so we must flee. At my mom's more presents await you and me, as we tore open the boxes, "what'd you get", "oh look", "let me see"! Then to the dining room to eat the Christmas feast, we detroyed that turkey like a herd of wild beasts. As I reclined in my chair all stuffed like a pillow, I began to sob and weep like a willow. Why? My wife had just told me, "don't get comfy in your seat, we now had to go to her mom's to eat". While we were there I piled it in, I prayed to God, "forgive me of this sin". So we finally finished our family rounds, it was back to our house where I could lay down. After a long day of trying to decide whether to GEE or to HAW let me close this by saying Happy New Year and Merry Christmas to ALL!

God's blessing to all: BROTHER GREG
