Winter Contrasts

Since I arrived in the Tampa area it has been cold, windy, and it even rained a few inches. This weather is the kind of weather that if you live in Florida you stay in and bundle up. The above picture is one of the coldest days we have experienced a temperature in the 50's.

It is such a contrast from Juneau. The below picture would be considered a beautiful winter day because if you look closely you can see a small patch of blue sky (a sucker hole). The temperature would be in the 30's you would bundle up and go out and enjoy the little bit of light before dark at 4 P.M.

Southeast Alaska on a sunny day

On Monday we drove up to the Eaglecrest ski area it was 13 degrees! Our long johns and wool socks couldn't keep us warm so we went for a drive out the road on North Douglas.

Juneau is amazing when it stops raining!

These pictures were taken from the North Douglas boat ramp.
