I wish my snow shots looked as good as yours.<BR/><BR/>Is there a chance you could add a blurb in your about or make a post showing how you set up your shots and what equipment you use? I don't how you could be carrying a tripod or a full frame camera, much less keeping the batteries warm in your armpits.<BR/><BR/>Stay warm, dry, eat plenty of fat, and thank you for sharing your experiences.Nom DePlumehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11984735399116521663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-41934773170825806092009-01-13T13:52:00.000-07:002009-01-13T13:52:00.000-07:00Sounds like a perfect day!

I *hate* it when he says something like 'do not go out there - it's awful weather'. It used to stop my momentum in its tracks. Now, I take it as a personal challenge to hurry up and get out there to prove that I can do it! Of course, sometimes it turns out that he was right - but at least I tried.<BR/><BR/>Your weather forecast for today sounds truly yucky. Maybe the forecasters are wrong!KBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16885661679762446456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-56310234585370710622009-01-12T20:27:00.000-07:002009-01-12T20:27:00.000-07:00"rain quickly turns packed snow into the slipperie..."rain quickly turns packed snow into the slipperiest substance on Earth" That is so true!<BR/>Oh, and I just heard an avalanche took out our power lines, so we are on diesel again.<BR/>I think I want to go to Hawaii too :PElizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06544076384942487436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-70215617715027202222009-01-12T19:59:00.000-07:002009-01-12T19:59:00.000-07:00Hey Jill, we're lucky here in southern Germany as ...Hey Jill, we're lucky here in southern Germany as the weather has been very cold (always below freezing point) for the last 10 days. That's very special for the people here in Europe! I would have loved to have a snow covered countryside 3 to 4 weeks back, when I finished my "big tour" in really bad weather: cold and wet!<BR/>Anyway, I just found your blog and it really inspires me. I'd love to move to a place with more snow and more extreme conditions one day. On my tour I've particularly enjoyed the places with extreme climates like Tibet, the Andes and the Arizona desert on the other side.<BR/><BR/>Greetings and keep up the great work!<BR/><BR/>Daniel<BR/><A HREF="www.velaia.de" REL="nofollow">Project Velaia</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-46741553550143640142009-01-12T14:54:00.000-07:002009-01-12T14:54:00.000-07:00Jill, it sounds like you guys get entirely too muc...Jill, it sounds like you guys get entirely too much rain.

I guess Juneau weather is ...Thanks, Craig!<BR/><BR/>Karen ... I guess Juneau weather is like Seattle's weather on crack. We actually get a lot of snow in town (240 inches in 2006-7) when Seattle gets almost none. We generally run 20-40 degrees colder than Seattle, even in the summer. We also see about three times as much annual rainfall as Seattle (80-90 inches compared to 30). The rain is what really gets under my skin. I've been much closer to Seasonal Affective Disorder in July and October than I ever have been during the winter months. :-)<BR/><BR/>But it's true, we don't get nearly the cold of Fairbanks or even Anchorage. However, I lived in Homer for a year, and I remember it being similarly cold but less rainy that Juneau's winters (we actually had warmish, dry winter days in Homer, which we never see in Juneau.) So I guess my advice is, if you're looking for Alaska's most mild winter weather, I'd point to Homer. And I'd recommend you move there for many other reasons, too. Think about it. :-)Jill Homerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02983065990450931943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-61649935344280284792009-01-12T08:47:00.000-07:002009-01-12T08:47:00.000-07:00Wow - that is quite the forcast.
