Juneau Snowstorm

I was so pissed about Blockbuster's that I forgot to mention this crazy snowstorm that hit us on Tuesday. This picture is from Anchorage, but it looks close to what I experienced. I unfortunately had to drive to the Valley and Auke Bay in the cantankerous Canner. I slid down the suicide hill known as Basin Road until I ended up completely sideways on the narrow street, my face staring down the rest of the deadly decline. Once on Egan--the only main road through Juneau--I started slipping dangerously around. So much for 4-wheel drive. Maybe just the notification light works and not the actual function. I passed 4 accidents that day and must have made the Sign of the Cross 50x. Because that works so much better than keeping both hands gripped on the wheel. That night, I was walking in the Vista House yard, and the snow came up to my knees, almost 2 feet. It's stopped snowing now thank goodness. I am completely unsympathetic to cross country ski fans.
