Scenery we have seen so far

We arrived in Alaska in the winter so of course there is snow everywhere. People here say it has been an abnormal winter and that there should be a lot more snow than there is. As of right now, there is more snow that I have ever seen in Utah but according to everyone, its still not as much as there should be. Valdez is the snow capital of the US. We average 300 inches a year. Nothing is ever closed when it snows a lot here. In December, we only had 5 hours of daylight. In just 1 month, we gained 3 hours. In summer we are suppose to have 20 hours of daylight. That will be interesting. Anyways, here are some pictures we have been taking. It looks a lot colder than it really is. The average temperature it has been here is about 20 degrees. Sometimes it has been in the single digits and sometimes it has been almost 40.
