Kodiak's weather continues to impress and keep me happy. What's amazing is that we keep getting snow storms without rain at the end. This is most unusual. On Saturday we got another 7 inches of snow at the airport. We have received almost 70 inches total for the winter!
This is another view of town from the bridge to Near Island. I took a similiar picture back in December (also posted on the blog), and when you compare the two it is astounding how much the snow has buried Pilar Mountain. In Decemeber you could still see all the salmonberry thickets and a lot more alder.
I believe our cold snowy winter is related to the abnormally warm winter on the East Coast. When the Jet Stream moves south of Alaska it naturally bends higher further around the globe - this just happens to be over New England. (PGS)
