Weird Weather

We had some unusually cold weather(yes unusual for Alaska) that caused glaciers to form on our windows which the boys proceeded to eat.YUK. It was about -38 .

Then overnight we had a huge wind storm. 50-80 miles an hour with gusts of 105. That morning
it was 40 degrees and pouring rain.We had wicked sheets of ice on the road.They closed schools for three days. Our driveway is a hill and our car would slide down as we backed out. To make things worse one of the windy days it was trash day.We put the garbage out and the next morning the garbage cans were GONE. We later(a week later) found them blown across the street and down the hill by the next road in the trees. Lots of fun getting those let me tell ya.

I can't believe you guys live up there! I'm wanting the snow to disappear in Idaho and we don't have nearly the snow and temperatures you have!

Dude, that is crazy! I laughed so hard. Baden, you are a nerd. I can't believe it slid to the neighbors' yard with garbage still in it, and the garbage stayed in it! That story is hilarious! Oh, and nice taboggin' skills!

That ice on the windows and door looks very familiar. Living in a trailor you get really acquainted with the great outdoors and what the weather is like:) The boys would eat the ice, too. Eeew.

I can just picture you going out and grabbing those cans. Little did you know that this story would entertain and blue postpartum mother! Thanks for the laugh!
