Christmas Day Blizzard pictures...not modem friendly

On Christmas Day we got hammered at work. I took these pictures with my old Kodak camera before it ended up DOA on the 26th.

Picture from my office of our Suburban's and Pick up's drifted under. It wasn't until the 27th that they were uncovered and then we were hit with a bigger blizzard on the 29th (alas no camera

).

These are pictures of our "PAC" (Personal Accommodation Center). The 1st floor windows are at least 6' off the ground. The PAC is built on pylons to protect the permafrost.

Reminds me of when I was a kid out on the prairies in good ole
Winterpeg, Manisnowba
Come to think of it I can remeber when I hadda jump out the second floor window onto a drift and go dig the backdoor out cause it was drifted in so bad it couldnt open at all

Ummm GrandDad you wouldn't be moving up where I work. That's a 120 miles North of the Arctic Circle and there is no place to live up there except for the work facility (the nearest Inupiaq village is 50 miles to the South).

Down here at home in the Anchorage area it ain't bad at all. Some snow, not nearly as much at work and temperatures in the upper 20°F's.

It all depends on where in Alaska. Now up there in Tekboy and Lost country in the interior it can get ummmmmm...pretty raw.
