Cool.  It snowed this morning while I was doing chores.  And the ground is cold enough to let it stick.  I don't think we're in line for a big dump yet, but it's gonna happen eventually.  

Meanwhile, due to the changes in weather, egg production is down.  Milk production is down.  My email account isn't working properly, so I can't communicate with my shareholders.  

But at least I don't have to complain that we were without power- like dozens of people I know whose refrigerators are full of spoiled food.

That three day windstorm dropped thousands of trees and power outages in the Matanuska-Susitna valleys were widespread.  Some folks went without for as many as 40 hours.  Not us.

In fact, our power usage is on the decline because finally temperatures are low enough to help keep our freezers frozen.   Woohoo!  Here comes winter!

(Note to self:  must dig potatoes...)

Love keeping up with life on your mountain! We are hopeful to be somewhere close to it in a few years ourselves (after we make it thru our first winter to "prove" we can be "real Alaskans", LOL). Hoping to catch some of your cheese thru the co-op now that we are settling in here and I can get set up with them and some other local suppliers.
