starting the first winter in true Alaska

Well it has started the snow has fell and to my amazement it is still here. See I am not use to that even on the Island it would snow 2 days later it was gone similar to Louisiana. But here school don't close and the 4 wheelers are not cutting donuts in the parking lots or fields. Back home it shut down everything I mean all of it most of the business would even close. The main thing it to go and play. It has been under 30 for about 3 weeks but it doesn't fell like it I got out and did everything I wanted I cut wood stacked it and actually sweated doing that. Then came the 3 days of 40 degree weather. It was just plain hot I cut wood for a hour and thought nope I will wait  until starts freezing again. It did winter came back  with a vengeance. It had 3 days of single digits then dumped 8 inches of snow. Everybody here was telling me it was a warning on the 40 degree days. To get your stuff up and put up because you will not find it until the spring. Then it will be water logged and most on it ruined. They were right I left my axe and mall out and had to dig for it. I put a video out on my YouTube channel Louisiana in Alaska. If you miss somethings it will be there. Like I said I ain't a very smart man but I can fake it until somebody tells  the right way to do it. Today we are under winter storm watch today so I will see what that brings. I think this is going to be a blast this winter it's the first true Alaska winter we have had sence the move but everybody tells me you will hate it after a few years. I don't know if that will be true but we will see. I haven't drove a snow machine yet I think that is going to be a experience. but I am always ready to do something new. I will try to have a video out on the channel for the first ride that might be interesting. 

lesson learned

 I have learned my first lesson it's not to leave the mop in he bucket full of water outside. You end up with a mopcicle like mine. I will have to buy another one or wait to the spring thaw. I probably buy she ain't going to let me wait that long to mop the house

mopcicle

I will try to add them to the youtube channel I didn't know how to do that when this happen
