I'll still take the gravel over salt!

On the way home tonight, notice anything absent? Other then regard for the speed limit haha

4WD light is not on because you have no snow

SNOW, yes, snow is what is missing. It feels like every state but AK is seeing snow. We should have 6ft snow banks on the sides of the highway in the photo from last night, but instead you see grass…wtf!?

Yep, already March but we still have snow coming down at a steady clip here in CT today. Several inches expected. This is the third snow day Since Sunday.

I wonder if the "snow birds" will start migrating to Alaska for winter in stead of Florida in order to avoid shoveling snow.

Similar story here. We are supposed to get a lot of rain in Jan through March. This year it's been nothing but sunshine again.

Well Skip, Down here in the civilized 48 we have electricity to all of the houses and that's how it gets there, via those wires.
Oh, And all of that white stuff is snow if you aren't familiar with it.

That pics is at an angle across my front yard, the 2 sections of picket fence are the front side on the right and our driveway on the left, the power lines (and cable & telephone) run down the opposite side of the street. We are in a very old settled area and as a result most of our cabling is above ground on poles (no street lights or sidewalks either) many newer areas have everything buried.

Civilized... Up in Alaska they have enough sense in most places to bury the wires, thus they don't seem to loose power every time the wind blows and the snow and ice collect. And you called yourself civilized

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to imply that I was civilized.
