Just noticed you are in Anchorage - 8" sounds pretty good to me. We once spent 6 months in Fairbanks and Prudhoe bay - bit of a shock to the system as we came straight from Saudi!!!

Pretty cold in the UK at the moment - the wind chill is very nasty. Looks like we have got the same weather you have but our winds are worse!!!

here on the west coast of ireland it has been blowing cold dry easterlies for a week. I'm all ready for the first spin but haven't the courage to go out in that bastarding cold sea. Global warming my arse!!!!!!!!!!! Someone tow this shagging island 200 miles south.
