Celebrating a Winter Storm



I have been talking about that woman who blogs about life in Tok, Alaska. Now, last week I have been blessed with (blessed?) a winter storm out here that dumped a foot of snow around the place where I live. Instead of complaining, I chose to celebrate it. Here is a short video of a short drive that I took after the snow cleared a bit. Also, there is this tunnel that we built through a pile of snow that some plow has dumped on the side of the road.



And here are a few pictures that I thought I'd share.

*--------Update--------*

It just so happened that London, UK has been plummelled with the worst snow in 18 years. It totally paralyzed the city and buses and trains stopped running. 6 inches. Wait a second, what you see above is a 12 incher. And it was pretty ok out there, of course traffic was less, but it didn't stop anyone from doing anything that they wanted to. I guess the difference is that a 12 incher or an 18 incher is pretty common out here and the City and the public services are always ready to take care of it. Maybe London is not as prepared.
