From low sunlight, plunging temperatures and massive snow fall, Alaska's winter are an extreme mix of beauty and danger. Post a photo of you how you live through it.
Heavy snow pounded Valdez and Cordova on January 6, 2012, after the town received 19.2 inches Thursday from the Prince William Sound blizzard, making for a season total of more than 20 feet. Meanwhile, Nome is having its worst cold spell since 1989.

About 700 to 1,000 moose call the Anchorage Bowl home in the winter months, with 200 to 300 staying year round.
These photos cover only about 1.5 hours, from 10:30 AM to just after 12:00 noon. They were on the lower Hillside of Anchorage on May 25, in our backyard of a wooded and fairly private subdivision. Mom & baby are still in our yard and seem to be doing great! Though I have no way of knowing this, I believe it is possible (likely?) that the cow was born nearby and that is why she chose this spot. In about 4 of the last 7 years we have had an older cow show up for a few days with very young twins. This cow looks young to me, and I think it is possible that she could be one of those young calves we have seen in our yard. Nice thought anyway...
