Wasilla weather forecast, November, 5, 2010

I need to look at the brochure again, but as I recall, it's not supposed to snow that much when you're north of Anchorage, Alaska. In areas south of Anchorage like the Kenai Peninsula and southeast Alaska, sure, it's supposed to snow a lot, but here in the Mat-Su Valley it's supposed to be cold and dry.

Well, not so far. Every day lately has had snow, or a good chance of snow. Here's the Wasilla snow forecast for roughly the next week:

I highlighted all the "snow" words there so you can see what it looks like.

It really hasn't been too bad -- and I drove from Anchorage to Wasilla, Alaska in a blizzard yesterday -- but it has been surprising. I really expected there to be much less snow than we've had so far.
