It's been a while since I updated the blog, and at the top of my posts list was a draft from last Christmas. The desperation in the title made me laugh out loud, but seriously, climate change in Alaska is no joke. Let's hope that this winter is a little snowier.
Dash and I survived another warm December in Anchorage, but this year was much worse than last year. To start with, there was only an inch of snow. This quickly melted into ice as it began to rain every day. The trails were impassible, and hiking at higher elevations was not an option because of 60+ mph winds most days. It became so icy that we couldn't even enjoy a hike around town. We did however get in a few days of ice skating.
