Wasilla, Alaska side roads - Ice and snow for the winter

This is a photo of one of the side streets here in Wasilla, Alaska, following a very small snowfall two days ago. Neighbors who have lived here for years tell me that they usually don't bother to plow the side roads here after a little snow shower, so roads like this that would have been unusable in Kentucky are a fact of life here in Wasilla -- for the entire six-month winter!
