storm

Wasilla, Alaska weather - December, 2010 - Winds of up to 80 mph last night landed a large tree in our parking lot. (Yes, that thing that looks like an ice-skating rink is our parking lot.)

If you've never been in a blinding snowstorm, this photo will give you some idea of the visibility you can expect. Fortunately this was during the day; driving at night would have been impossible.

This is one of my favorite photos from Hatcher Pass, a sunlit mountain top with ominous clouds hovering behind the mountain.
