Snow
All these were shot on the 3rd of March, a cold but clear day, as we were digging out...
Clear days in the winter are rare but beautiful. Here's looking down the driveway... 
The snow is not quite halfway up the windows in front...
A frozen Auke Lake, looking toward Mount McGinnis (top in the clouds)... 
Ice chokes the Gastineau Channel, with the hills of Douglas Island rising above the passage...
Mike (our landlord and snowplow-guy) working on our parking spot. Shot this thru the front window, so not the best photo ever taken, but note the top of the 5-ft tall rose bush in the yard...
The parking berm from the other side... 
Mike and I thought, what the heck, let's dig out the fire hydrant in the front, 'cause ya never know... 
As Julie my darling would say, it was a ton of flippin' snow... 
By the way, it is now official: as the second day of "Spring" dawned, the winter of 2006-07 has had the most snow since records were kept in Juneau. Juneau's ski area at EagleCrest also has the deepest snowpack of any ski resort on the planet... what an honor. This after the rainiest summer on record.

Hey Ken, it's the Nolens way over here in WI, and I just got here from Zeke's blog. WOW, that was a ton of snow you guys got. I thought ours was a lot over here. How are you like it up there? We want to get back out West in a bad way. This Middle (not midwest, it has NOTHING in common with the west) sucks. Where are the mountains!! :) Anyway, I'll be keeping an eye on your blog...fun reading!! You can see us at mine. Cindy :) (and Travis, Anisa and Sara)
