Well, seemingly from out of nowhere it has started snowing. Like crazy! There have been some huge dumps in the past two days, and I woke up this morning to find the whole place blanketed in deep snow. I couldn't tell you how much exactly, but there is bloody heaps! The whole town is nearly knee-deep in snow. It is very beautiful and even with this snow it isn't too cold.
I think that this is how most people down under imagine Alaska to be: white with snow everywhere! If you look again at the pictures of the Jamestown Bay sunsets and imagine that the scenery is a grayish white, you'll come pretty close to how it looks today! Even with all this snow, though, life continues on as normal for everyone. I was kind of surprised: in New Zealand the whole place would shut down if there was this much snow! But here everyone just gets stuck in and gets on with it. I suppose it reflects how laid back the kiwis are: any excuse to get a day off work.
