Nice and sunny today. Drove back from Anchorage Friday night - Sat morning with a stop in Glennallen but nothing unusual for spring time. Say 8-12 inches of snow on the road for a few hundred miles with blowing snow and white out over the pass. Normal for here. Good set of winter tires and not driving like a butt monkey helps.

Powerlines in our community are mostly underground due to snow loads. At least they gave that some thought.

We had a total accumulation of 10 feet. Leaving for Anchorage tomorrow the 27th. We have 4 feet left in the yard now. And it don't sound like it's over yet. Sounds like summer in Anchorage compared to here. Looking forward to the trip up as I like Anchorage. But not looking forward to the aftermath of the neck surgery. I'll be uncomftorable for a couple of weeks to say the least. Like to meet you guy's Mike and Ray. But doesnt sound like I will have any free time. I'll be at the Days Inn around 10PM the 27th. Pre-op the 28th, surgery on the 29th and return on the 30th if everything goes OK.

Well it don't look good for getting out tomorrow as the National Weather Service is predicting a White Out with up to a foot more snow between 4AM and 6PM. Bush planes won't do the pass in that weather.

Help my slow brain... I don't understand. Now rescheduling in two weeks makes perfect sense but what do you mean by "I'll get out tomorrow"?
