We took a run down toward Girdwood this morning. The roads are clear and there is NO ice in the Arm, which is almost unheard of for this time of year. The temperature in Anchorage is 45. I have flowers blooming.

(18,219 posts)Funny, I have thought that I would love to visit Alaska....but I have never considered doing it in the winter.
I sure how things get back to normal, although if you have flowers blooming, normal will really screw everything up now.

Great, great photo! I really like it.
