Saturday Pictures

We didn't make it to the museum yesterday.  It was so COLD outside.  I could hardly stand it!  We went to Office Depot (got me some binding rings to craft with making mini albums) and the library. 

I took lots of pictures outside of the beautiful scenery.  Here they are:


This is a moose laying down behind the library parking lot.  He has some snow on his face and he is chewing on something.  Tom took the picture with my iPhone and he looks so far away, but he really was very close.


 
Look at this car!  We thought that was so funny.  I was wondering how long he must have been parked there to build up that snow on top, but Tom said, no he drove here like that.  What's really funny, when we got back home, we saw it in our parking lot.  LOL  So, I guess he really was driving around like that.


 
 
Here's a snow pile on one side of the parking lot.


 
I thought this was an awesome sight.  Tom and I couldn't figure out why the sun ray is going up. This was taken about 3:00 in afternoon.  It was looking like sunset.


Here's another snow pile.  That's what they do here.  They bulldoze the snow into one big pile when clearing parking lots.


I just thought this tree was beautiful.


Snowy tree lined street on the way to Office Depot.


And isn't this cool?  You can see the icicles forming on Tom's truck.  He also has icicles hanging under the bumper and wheel wells.  (Is wheel wells right?... You probably know what I mean.)

Brrrr

Today it's getting all the way up to 1!  Wooo-Whooo!  It's -2 right now.  Day 5 of the snow coming down.


The pictures above and below were taken at 9:25 this morning.  Sunrise isn't until 10:12 today and sunset today is at 3:41 this afternoon.


 
 
Tomorrow we are planning on going to the museum!  They have dolls and toys displays right now with carousel horses.... you know Bonnie is going to LOVE the carousel horses!!

December Snow!

We are enjoying Alaska very much.  This is the 3rd day in a row that is has been snowing and snowing and snowing.  We are suppose to get 7 more inches by 4 o'clock this afternoon.  It's beautiful. 

This was Tom's view driving to work this morning.


 It's snowing so heavily today that it almost looks foggy outside because of the dense snow coming down.  We don't get much daylight these days.Sunrise is at 10:10 today and sunset is at 3:41 this afternoon.  When the air is filled with clouds and snow this heavy, it really doesn't get too bright outside.  It's like dusk all day long.




I posted on Facebook that if I were to lay down and make a snow angel now, I'd probably disappear for days.  My sister commented, "I'd like to see that! LOL" .  hahahahahaha

Here are 2 pictures Tom took after only being at work a few hours this morning.
