When I left Anchorage two days ago it was snowing and everything had three inches of snow on top of it. It was beautiful and added to the scenery. When I got home I didn't pay much attention to the landscape as it was dark. But yesterday in the light of day I noticed we have no snow. We do however have a nice layer of ice on the ground. When I got to work I noticed that people had their ice grippers with them. I not sure I am ready for ice grippers yet but I am thinking about it.
Two of my favorite sounds are the wind through the trees and ice crunching under your feet. My walk home last night I crunched a lot of ice. I had a wonderful time. I decided that I would go to the river and see how it was doing since the roads were freezing. King Salmon Creek was awesome. The banks were covered in hills of white ice and chunks of ice were flowing with the current. The river was moving ever so slowly,the floating ice tinkled as it passed by. So maybe we don't have a blanket of white yet, but there is beauty still to behold.
