Winter in Anchorage

Now, when it's hot, smoky and ashy, it's time to recall the best winter of my life.
In response to our enthusiasm, "Hurray, at last winter, snow and frost," some Alaskans longtime shook their heads, saying, you live here for more than three years, and then in another sing a different tune - short days, long nights, leaving on rabotut dawn and come home in a dark, bad roads, bored with the snow, which need to constantly clear, frost, bills for gas and electricity, opostyly house where you spend most of the time ... No, better summer.
But winter came, and we saw that is not so pessimistic. Many residents of Anchorage as if did not even notice the difference in temperature, it is continuing to lead an active lifestyle. Back in October, when everything is frozen, but the snow has not really dropped, people put on skates and moved to nearby bodies of water. Marshes with natural ice tracks between islands of grass and reeds are especially popular.

As anyone, and we delight in the snow. Still, twenty years have not seen this, snowy, frosty winter.

Already at this stage, I tell myself, even if no more snow falls, I'll still be happy. Snow will fall above the columns.

And it is far from the end of winter.

Only a small part of the "water-air" was on skis, the others are waiting for spring.

The secret of the beauty of winter in Anchorage: high humidity + frost + = calm thick layer of frost. This, by the way, Alaska does not occur everywhere.

The entire city has been turned into a white fairy tale.

In our area of the park "Russian Jack" is a bicycle-ski track, lights on until ten at night. Two ski runs, a classic, which paves a special machine, and free-style, full-width of the road.
