After having the coldest, snowiest, November in years--we got a real change this weekend.
A storm came in from the South Pacific, (a chinook) bringing high winds, high temperatures, and lots of rain.
Prior to this weekend, the temps have been floating around zero to 10 for the last couple weeks. I had a couple feet of snow on the ground.
With the rain, most of my snow melted, and the driveway is down to the rock base. No, I wont be bringing :spyder2: out for a winter ride though. The melt off freezes to solid ice--so the side roads are like ice skating rinks. Not a good situation for driving the :spyder2:.
Last night, we experienced temps in the 40's and it reached the 50's in some parts of our area today. We had winds all night gusting up to 118 miles per hour. The whole house shook when the high winds were blowing. I was fortunate, there were some tree limbs down all over my yard--but no other damage to my home. We are now at freezing again--so it will be an icy commute tomorrow.
There were reports of lots of wind damage in parts of Anchorage where people have decided to build their homes on the side, or near the top of the mountains.
