Today's paper kind of explained Juneau's snow situation. It is not so much that we are in record-breaking status but that we haven't had warmer, thawing weather between storms. So we have November's snow still on the ground, covered by a few feet of newer white stuff. It has stayed cold.

This week it is forecast to remain cold -zero is tonight's forecast- but starting next week rain is on the menu. I love snow; I despise wet stuff raining INTO snow.

Oh, wait. I just checked. the forecast for next week has returned to snow. Forget the rain. Ah.
