So the Chinook came through Anchorage this week. About 8 days ago, we had temperatures in the -30's. Then, almost overnight we jumped up to the +30s and all our snow began to melt. We also got a lot of rain, turning all the snow-packed roads into skating rinks! Anchorage School District closed school for the first time in the 5 years we've been here. Followed by the Chinook came 3 days of 80mph+ winds. Our neighbor's tree blew down...it was GOD that it didn't hit our house. We did have to replace a few shingles on the roof though. It's nice to have the warmer weather...I'm sure it'll get cold again before we get the REAL Breakup...It is only January afterall...
The neighbor's tree snapped off....
...and took out his fence.
