Goodbye Fall


So fall is officially over. The termination dust has come and the snow has arrived along with the cold weather. Though it seems extra early this year for snow, Tyler assures me that this is really pretty normal for AK. The past 3 years I have lived here it hasn't really snowed 'till around Halloween and apparently that is later than usual. So this year is my first "real" winter I guess you could say.

This year is the first winter for our pup Yawkey. Our deck looked like this earlier today when Yawkey went outside.
After a short time of constant snow fall it began to look like this:

While he is very timid and greatly dislikes the rain the snow is a different story. Yawkey loves the snow. We let him out on our back deck and he goes crazy. He walks around and sniff the snow for a bit then decides to start eating it and before you know it he has taken off on a full out run chasing the snow balls that his legs kick up in front of him. It is pure entertainment for Tyler and I to watch until he runs in the house covered in snow shivering. (Here is a short little video link you can see of him playing.)
