Giving Thanks

Today I am thankful that I do not live in Alaska! A snowicane? - With the pressure equivalent of a Category 4 hurricane, "the potentially historic 'superstorm' will start a "parade" of storms in the Pacific Northwest later this week.

The powerful storm is unleashing 85 mph damaging winds, blizzard conditions, huge waves and coastal flooding. A coastal station measured ice accretion of 23.5 inches per hour Tuesday night.

Yes - I'm thankful that I do not live in Alaska. Hope everyone there stays inside and safe.

  1. I'm thankful I don't live in Alaska, too. It looks like a nice place to visit, but...give me the heat and humidity of the south any day!

  2. I hate to live in cold country in the winter. I did it for enough years, that I'm not quite thawed out yet. Phoenix in the winter, what could be better?

  4. Whoa! That's the first I've heard of anything like that. I think I'd rather take my chances with a good old-fashioned hurricane than a snowicane! Wonder if any of that weather in the Pacific Northwest is going to find it's way down here into Illinois.
