Lol, the only thing that sucked was the -35F temps for that two week period in January. Other than that, no worse than western PA other than the length. I was actually surprised by the relative lack of snowfall. It's just that the stuff we did get, stuck around.

I'm sure it goes in cycles, just like everything else from women to economic conditions.

I wonder how long it will be before they move the start of the Iditarod up to Trapper Creek.
Hey, I got myself that microdistillery, gonna make some kickass salmonberry brandy this fall.

For the summer. I won't be spending winters there again unless your predictions somehow come true while I'm up and the -48 descends into a lawless cesspool of socialism and society completely falls apart...though wait, lawless cesspools do have their own kind of charm....
I can do whatever I want to do...

Lol, that must be a nice freedom to have. But, I have a priority that overrides all others.

I hope. I'm just worried that a teenage girl is going to put me into an early grave.
