Back in Barrow

The trip to Anchorage was great! I loved the literacy conference, and was able to meet one of my favorite reading people. I also shopped more in three days than I have in three years, I think. Alaska Air Cargo has wonderful rates so you can buy lots of groceries and have them flown up way cheaper than through the post office. Very good deal!

Yesterday when I arrived home, it was very windy, but the ocean was still clear of ice as far as you could see. However, today on the way home from work, we could see sheets of ice all across the horizon in the ocean. The sea will start to change drastically each week now. I always like when the big icebergs start to come in, so hopefully I'll see them soon and get some good pictures.

This week's challenge is to find the average snowfall in Barrow each year and compare it to the average yearly snowfall of your town.

We get 4.6 more inches of snow than you do, way down south in the lower 48! Is it too cold up there for snow?
