A Mad Rush
With fall beginning its crest and in some places already winding down, we here in the north have begun to see the glimpses of snow begin to appear in the long term weather forecast. While here in the Anchorage bowl colors are deepening, they have not yet reached their full spectrum.
As a result, I’m finding myself scrambling to put in as many trips as I can before snow begins to fall in earnest. That includes this weekend in Denali National Park for the annual road lottery. Luck has claimed me on this as I will not only be in the park on Sunday for my own lottery pass, but alas I was lucky to secure a spot for Saturday as well through a friend.
Next weekend includes a wildlife cruise in Kenai Fjords National Park and then the following weekend will be a last fall hurrah as several of us celebrate fall up at Byers Lake in Interior Alaska and begin our quest for the aurora borealis.
Many changes have flowed my way the last few weeks and many more coming in the weeks ahead. Once it is finalized I will announce perhaps the biggest change for me yet.
You know, we still look every week or so at what your temps are, and I”ve noticed them falling. We have been sitting in the 90’s all week, and its been a nice change from the 100 degrees its been all summer. LOL
We’re still in the 40s in the mornings. I do however expect that to change soon. Especially given they are calling for snow at the end of next week.
I’m hoping it holds off at least until later in October. Given my September felt like such a wash with me being sick, there is still some stuff I would like to experience.
Yea, that was a rip off wasn’t it. How much snow do you all usually get this early?
Kansas is so freaky sometimes, it can either be really warm here for october, or be freezing. I’m hoping it stays warm, I have an engagement couple that booked for the last weekend in october (my kids have gone trick’rtreating in shorts one year, and heavy coats the next), and I’m a nervous wreck it will be cold by then. I’m so not ready for winter, I’m mainly an outside photographer. I really don’t like doing studio shots.
Our first snow last year wasn’t until November. But then December we proceeded to get completely dumped on by storm after storm and that brought us up to one of the snowiest winters we have ever had. I don’t mind snow - but I’m still not quite ready for it.
