Snow Up to Your Knees

I awoke to 14 inches

of fresh sparkling white

snow. I jumped into

my car and thought, 

"I'll just gun it" and

back out into the

freshly plowed street."

It's only a couple of feet.
Nice thought, only

it didn't quite work

that way.

I was definitely stuck

with no shovel at hand.

I thought, 

"I'll just call work

and say I am not

coming into work."

Turning to leave,

a car stopped in

the middle of the street,

two guys eagerly jumped out 
and began to

shovel the snow.

Along came another guy

and guess what -

they got my car out into

the street in no time.

My roommate, however,

just stayed home. I was

insanely jealous.

Anchorage picks up
the snow and puts it into
a dump truck which
in turn dumps the snow
into a dry lake bed. I
marveled at how they
handled snow.

By the way, I have it all figured out.
All of us wanted to
know what happened to
 winter.  Well, here
is a picture of where it
went.

 Road to Valdez in 2012. 


To get to Valdez, you
 drive over a mountain pass.
When I drove it,
clouds descended like 
heavenly angels so
that I thought I was
driving in fog.

Typical Alaskan humor.
