The most delightful times were getting "snowed in" -- I would dream of spending a week in the cabin, but there was always some over energetic person(s) who found digging cars out of snow to be fun -- just so we could be back to civilization on Monday.<br /><br />Anyhow, thanks for the wonderful set of snow pictures.Joanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07948553013206247354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4834267977604421778.post-59292816276959852892013-02-07T10:54:20.388-08:002013-02-07T10:54:20.388-08:00Great pictures of Alaska as we don't normally ...Great pictures of Alaska as we don't normally see it.
