A Walk in the Snow After Ice

Last week brought us very unusual weather for November in Fairbanks. On Monday we had rain and then freezing rain so we woke up Tuesday to no power due to all the ice that had frozen overnight. All our birch trees were bent over or broken and the roads were a mess so we stayed put that day. However, Thanksgiving grocery shopping needing to be done so on Tuesday Matt chained up the tires on the truck and we made the SLOW trek to town. The entire trip took us 4 hours! Well worth it though because we needed to get the shopping done.

Luckily it snowed a little every day after that and the landscape became a beautiful and surreal one. We went for a walk on Murphy Dome over the weekend to enjoy the sunshine and the wintery views. We think we have a good "backyard" to play in around here!
