Winter sets in
Family in Healy AK report recent snow and very cold temperatures with high winds. Just another day in paradise and normal for living that close to Denali National park. The locals report the tour...

Valdez has a fairly unique combination of attributes for snowfall:
- Consistently in the top 10 for total / total average snowfall (don't think it was ever #1)
- """ """""""""""""""""" for measured rate of snowfall
- """" """""" for "most months of the year" (my wording) with significant snowfall...June, July, and August are the only insignificant months.
Winter of 2012/2013 saw a 20(?) year high of snowfall not only in Valdez but in many other measured areas in Southcentral AK. Of course, I started my snowplow business in the winter of 2013/2014. :(
I have about 1/2 an acre of driveway and turn-around space that gets plowed with my F550 plow truck. Not a real problem but a bit of a pain-in-the-you know what when I have to fire up the plow rig more than once in any given 24 hour period...like the past 2 days.
Now about those hardworking Alaskans on the street corners of Los Anchorage......
