Cold!

We've been in the deep freeze here for weeks, but today I just said, f*** it, I don't care if it's 10 degrees and the wind's blowing 25 mph, I'm going to get some shots. Welcome to my world. :brr:

Mt. Spurr, I think

1. Not exactly summer weather here

but I'm grateful for what we have after looking at the icebox known as Alaska.

Love the first shot with that brushed-metal look to the sky, and you've framed the pic beautifully. Keep warm, now.

3. The really scary part

is that Anchorage is in the "warm" part of Alaska. Up in the Interior, it's been getting down to about
-35 at night. That's just a little too chilly for me.

I'm just hoping for a minimum of snow and an early spring.:-(

2. Geez, Blue, it's not even winter yet.

I guess I'm going to stop complaining about having to turn on my heater.:scared:

5. Wow, snow already, meanwhile in the Alps there is some snow

but here in the valleys it is still green. And Thursday it is suppposed to be in the 60s again. Very bizarre weather. I'll take it though, it makes for a much more bearable winter! Except that I want to SKI this time over here.

6. It'll be around 70 degrees here tomorrow

I love that first pic. Looks like one of those fancy filmsie darkroom techniques. And Birches.... not to be confused with Aspens. :P

Thanks for braving the frigid elements to bring us these great photos.

7. You can keep your cold

looking at heating fuel bills here least there is an upside of unusually warm weather. Been way warm for Nov. No fall to speak of. My Aspens actually have new leaves on them. My willow is just starting to turn colors and a few other trees are so confused they are budding. I still have flowers for crying out loud. No such thing as global warning huh? BTW usually i am really really missing Flalala by now, yet we have 70 plus degrees. Then saw F's 70 in CO that shit should not be happening this time of year. Waiting to hear how my 90 something year old uncle is missing shoveling a couple feet of snow already. (He is in Steamboat Springs, CO)

9. There's actually been talk up here

that the arctic environment is trying to "right" itself somehow, that some self-correcting is going on in the global warming scenario. I have to agree that our rainy summer and winter thus far are much more reminiscent of the "old days" than recent years, but I'm not convinced that this isn't just a blip. It sounds like things are still weird down south.

8. Right now it's 54 degrees in Miami, the coldest it's been this winter

It's supposed to drop to 42 degrees by tomorrow, which means it will feel colder because Miami is not a city built for the cold, if that makes any sense.

My favorite shot of the bunch is Talkeetna Mountains across Knik Arm.
