After enduring several blizzards and countless hours of windshield time plowing snow, we get hit by a great cold snap. Even those of you living in tropical LA have seen a noticeable decline in temperatures. Down here on the Kenai Peninsula, we have just about froze out. Had to stop using my 500 gallon propane tank at the video store, now we just have the tanker truck backed into the parking lot and taking it on directly from the tanker. However, things could be worse.

At least that is what I was telling myself until just a few minutes ago when I clicked onto the National Weather Service to see what we could expect tomorrow. If you notice those nice white spots which are a minority, that is where it is suppose to be normal. See that green color for LA, well that is a Dense Fog Advisory until noon on Wednesday. Oh, did I forget that you also have a strong wind warning from noon on Wednesday to Thursday, I wonder what happened to the fog?

See that green down on the beautiful Kenai Peninsula, they tell us that we have a Snow Advisory from 9 am on Wednesday to 6 am on Thursday with snow accumulation of just fourteen (14) inches, with the heaviest concentration south of Clam Gulch. That is the great news that I was really looking forward to hearing. You know those fence posts that I have around the tackle shop? Someone either stole them or they are somewhere under the snow. Remember when we were all wishing for a "White Christmas", you should always watch out for what you wish for.

I will try to trek myself into the Hole In The Wall Recreational Area on snowshoes and shovel off those campers that remain in the area. Yea, right, I will get on that - shovel your own roofs. I tried to warn all of you, I had a vision that we were going to have a hard winter. That is why I provided extra dunnage for the house on stilts, double wrapped the moose wallow and even covered the bear den. Good thing, I had the good idea about putting the extra security dunnage on the back door of that one camper, would hate to see that door come open with the prevailing winds and snow. It would have made a great place for the Plumma and Homer to cool their beer if it did fill up with snow.

Now I do not want you guys in LA feeling sorry for Grannie and me, we will be ok, you just relax, enjoy yourselves with your winter activities while your city government does all your plowing, snow removal, garbage pick up and all the other amenities that you enjoy in the city. Grannie and I will just take care of things ourselves, knowing that the job will get done properly.
