Glad to read your enjoying yourselves up here. Just wanted to comment on your question you asked yourself while in Valdez after the pastor told you we had over 400 inches of snow, how many snow days the schools had. The answer would be none. I work for AKDOT here and we run crews day & night 7 days a week in the winter to keep the rosds open. Then the city has a fleet of loaders and graders for the town, we're used to it and deal with the snow to keep things going.
Also glad to hear that Mark was able to help you out with your tire, he's a good friend of mine.
:)Snow days ? Seems like the places that really GET SNOW are able to
have school and get to and from work just fine despite the snow. and the places that only get dumped on occasionally cannot deal with it.
Used to work for the Colorado dept of Highways up in an area between 8000 and 10000 ft elevation. Oodles and oodles of snow "even in the summer"at times, and between us and the counties plows and blades there were never any "snow days"that I can remember. They did cancel the kids little 4th of July parade one summer because of the 10 inches of snow that fell that morning , over a foot on the pass.
spent that holiday in a plow , as most holidays were spent.
another time , long long ago :)
