My Alaska Life

Here it is April 22nd and the woodpile and the burn barrel are still sitting on or under 3 feet of packed snow. We’ve had years where the snow was mostly melted by this time in April. However, this year is taking longer. The temps have been in the 50’s this week during the daytime and an occasional 60 with only about 5 or 6 hours a night getting to freezing. It looks like it’s going to be another couple of weeks at this rate.
