Hey everyone long time lurker decided to finally join! Look forward to interacting with all of you. I'm from Canada and have always had a massive interest in Sasquatch, had a potential encounter once with rock throwing but it's hard to say. Cheers!

In Anchorage, it was officially a 5.5" snowfall last Wednesday night, because the measuring place is at the international airport. But at my daughter's house, a 9 mile crow flight to the east and at the base of the Chugach Mountains, they got 18". Now it's sub-zero cold. The forecast is -18 degrees tonight. It's -4 degrees this morning at my home between Palmer and Wasilla. Mrs. Huntster and I went north to the Willow area to check the lakes for ice thickness. Ice fishing season is close. There wasn't as much snow. Apparently the Chugach Mountains held the storm and it just dumped its load there.

It will likely be near the end of this month / very beginning of December when I head back that way! Definitely send me his contact info for sure, that is awesome!!! It also has a horrific impact on the economy of these areas. The jobs get eaten up and the land/house prices have doubled in most areas around here due to it. The big problem with that is that while that house payment / apartment rent price is almost double what it was a year or two ago because of the gouging the salaries haven't budged a bit!

WOW!! It just got worse. The City of Abbotsford just issued an emergency evacuation order for all of Sumas Prairie. The Barrowtown pump station at the Vedder Canal is failing, and water has risen another foot in the last hour. When the pumps fail, the Fraser and Vedder rivers will flow into the flatlands and raise many more feet. Farmers have been ordered to abandon livestock and get out. I've been hearing many heli flights over my place in the last hour, going in to rescue anyone who hasn't already left.
