"ALASKAJOHN".....I got something you Ain't Got. And it is BIG and Bright.

[Sourdough]

Came up (actually snook out from behind a mountain to the SOUTH). Came out at 11:40 AM. I'll be up on roofs all day shoveling snow, so hopefully I'll note when it sleeks away.

Ha! I can see its presence on the mountainside, but it won’t come near me for another 3 or so weeks. Maybe it was something I said?

I suspect the sun knows that you are a "Certified Alaskan Sourdough". It knows that while you may deeply appreciate its "radiance", you don't need it to survive.

I think it is up here but with the clouds and snow I wouldn't want to make any claims under oath.

By the way, how much snow did you get on this last dump? The forecast was for 8-10 inches and we got about 6 inches. Nice dry snow, so I will fire up my sled in a bit and go play. It’s knee deep or more, so just enough to have a lot of fun in.

Be careful up on those roofs.

I saw pictures this morning of the snow in Ketchikan. Do they know how to drive in that stuff in the Deep South of Alaska?

Some of us do, especially those that had snowy winters when we were in high school and could go out, do stupid stuff, and learn how to drive in it before we got any sense.

!:45 PM and sun is "GONE" so two hours. And now a nice "EARTHQUAKE". O'well in Alaska you take the good with the bad. Short but violent earthquake........damn glad I was not up on the roof.

 

[Sourdough]

Was a 5.9 Quake. They keep changing the magnitude now calling it 6.0

 

[Caribou]

Was a 5.1 Quake.

One good way to get the snow off the roof.

 

[Alaskajohn]

It shook my cabin pretty well. It was near Port Alsworth, so a long way away.

Roughly "mid" way between Anchor Point and Port Alsworth. But 94 miles "DEEP". That is hard for me to imagine. Might be a bad omen for Mount Redoubt eruption soon.

I'm going in the hot sunny pool the entire Christmas weekend, just sayin',!!

I spent my afternoon digging myself out of a ditch. A forestry idiot running down the middle of the road while looking at his messages ran me off the road. He didn't even notice and kept going. I got his truck number so he will be getting a Merry Grinch Christmas from his boss.

I got lucky and someone eventually came by and gave me a pull before I got to cutting some small trees for under the front tires.

Happy longest night of the year!
