Snowbound!

I missed most of this week's ski practice because I was stuck on Kodiak Island in a snowstorm.  No planes were able to get in or out for a while, so I had to wait for the storm to pass through before coming home. But the storm headed toward Anchorage when it left Kodiak, which meant I was able to fly over it and land in Anchorage just in time for its arrival here. So I got to enjoy the same snowstorm twice!

This morning we did skating intervals in freezing rain at Kincaid. It was raining pretty steadily, but the temperature was well below freezing, so the rain froze solid wherever it landed. We came back to the parking lot to find the cars encased in ice.  It made for a fun drive home.



Everyone thought it was pretty cool that Étienne could roll the window all the way down without the "ice window" breaking.

The rain has now turned to snow, and the forecast is for heavy snow tonight.  Let's hope...
