Pictures

This picture doesn't show what I actually saw. The tide was going out and the chunks of ice were flowing with the tide. It was amazing.

The hoar frost is on everything right now. The clouds in the background aren't clouds. It's ice fog rolling in.

If you search through this blog, where I uploaded pictures earlier, there's one of this view in the fall.

These are the lines right outside our apartment. They've been covered with hoar frost for about a week now. It's not uncommon to watch them and see them vibrate when it's calm out.

Taken yesterday, November 23rd, mid afternoon. This is a tree beside our apartment building.










There are more pictures, but I'll add them later. It'll take forever just to upload these three.

The day these pictures were taken, Dillingham was colder than Homer, Anchorage, Kenai, Soldotna, McGrath, Bethel, Fairbanks, Tok, Kotzebue, Nome and Barrow. When the windchill factor was tossed in, Kotzebue was the only one that had a colder windchill than our actual temps. It wasn't the first time I searched the state and found our temps were colder than what those in the interior and far north were experiencing.

The positive side: it's a great place to be when a hot flash hits. Yeah, I've stepped outside without a coat in subzero temps that felt great.
