you were the winter queen summer rode in full mane flowing in doling out delight you turned us to stone cracking the table in green fields flowed white escaped, we danced the fir tree tango landing lamplight in a tumble drunk on brandy again
I prefer winter to summer any day.

Well, we just got a half inch of freezing rain followed by three inches of the white stuff after all the roads had just gotten finally melted… While I don’t mind winter, this bit of slip-and-slide is for the birds.
I’m an autumn guy, mostly. Then spring. Then winter. Summer… Gets too humid and hot around here for my Nordic blood.
But I’m ready for a thaw…

Yeah, I hate freezing rain. Or when it warms up and melts everything then freezes again. Ergh. Not a fan.
But winter in general: oh yes!

I think we’re looking at refreeze here overnight. LOVELY. At least they managed to clear the roads early enough that much of it baked off in the sun, but the sidewalks and driveway will be treacherous.

This year has been horrible here. They must have cut funding to the roads because now they aren’t plowing or sanding and the roads are Terrible this winter. I can’t remember a year in Alaska like this before. I mean, when I lived in the states they often didn’t take care of winter roads well, but here.. they’re always good… except this winter.

That’s what we say. “In the states” or “the lower 48”. It’s an Alaskan thing.
