Sunshine



We have had 2 days of sunshine! Pretty amazing! It even got up to 37 degrees today. The snow is slowly melting, very slowly though. I am in Douglas across from Juneau. Juneau gets afternoon sun and the snow is melting faster. In Douglas, we are next to a mountain and trees and they block the afternoon sun from reaching the snow. So, we do not get the warmth to melt the snow that they get across the Channel.

More pictures of the Mendenhall Glacier. One of these days the snow will turn into water.

Hooray for sunshine and melting. I will cross my fingers you will get many additional days of it so you can melt all of that snow!
