What a Difference: February 4th, 2012 vs. February 4th, 2013

Above is our parking lot on February 4th last year, in the midst of a winter full of record-breaking snow.

Below is the same parking lot today.  The snow, which was several feet deep in places last winter, barely covers the ground this time:


February 4th and 5th are the optimum days for winter snowfall in Southcentral Alaska.  For instance, on the night of February 4th and 5th, 1955, Whittier had a new accumulation of 144 inches of snow.

The lower of the two above photos was taken with my new camera, a Pentax WG-II water resistant digital camera.  I'm tired of cameras breaking so easily.  Supposedly, this one will not.

Below is the camera, plus my new hearing aid set, which Judy loves:

Now that's ^ good. Must say this winter. Cameras,phones ,elbows,wrists,derriere's. Should all be shock proof. Ok many derriere's are shock proof but many are not. Like mine. AKjah.
