Snow in September?!

That's right folks, it has snowed in Alaska! Last Saturday I was in shorts and a light jacket and then, it rained Sunday and the mountaintops emerged Monday morning covered in snow. This is referred to as "Termination Dust" in Alaska meaning that summer is terminated, but boy did it turn cold fast. Wednesday my car thermometer topped out at 41 degrees, yes, 41 degrees. Although it is cold, it doesn't feel like 41 at home; our bodies have most certainly adjusted to the cooler temperatures here.

On my way to work I stopped to take a picture of these mountain tops; pretty sure the MPs would not approve, but oh well.
