Me- Choices, Today

It is raining today - yuk!  This past Sunday night through Tuesday we got snow, about a foot.  It was also down to 5 degrees - winter had returned after two weeks of warm and rain.  Wednesday, we got more rain and now, Saturday, it is 39 degrees and raining.  I woke up at 3 AM hoping to go cross country skiing, thinking it would be colder and no rain.  It was raining so I went back to bed.

I am in Alaska to ski in the winter.  Here I only travel 15 minutes to ski and in the lower 48 I have to drive for an hour or more.  I have purchased 5 days on the ski slopes and an unlimited cross country ski pass but I have not used either yet.  I might have to break down and cross country in the rain this weekend.

I want a real winter back.  Rain in February, in Alaska means Global Warming is impacting us up North.
