Goodbye, summer. Hello, winter.

We had snow in the Chugach mountains this weekend. That means that summer is officially over (the first snow of the year is called "termination dust"), and we'll now have about 4 weeks of fall. Some people are predicting a pretty snowy winter this year, with the first real snow (several inches that stick and don't melt away) around mid- to late October.
The lows are already in mid-30s and right now (7:00 AM), the sun is just coming up and it's 41 degrees.
Have I ever mentioned that getting to Hawaii from Anchorage costs about the same getting to LA or San Francisco? It's only $100 more than getting to Seattle ....
