November 22: The weather this morning wasn’t great – certainly not conducive to laying on the beach 🙂 This was the view from the balcony at 08:40 am. This would be a good day to drive up to West Palm Beach to see Cathy’s aunt Marilyn. It was a...

Mother Nature never did cooperate today so instead of being an “Explore Juneau” day (in my case Mt. Roberts hiking day) it was a ship day for a lot of people, including me. I was actually surprised at the number of people who did venture forth – pleased, but...

Last night was the roughest ride we’ve ever had at sea. I really love storms at sea – I find the whole experience to be very invigorating – but I know that many people are much less enthusiastic about it! Yesterday morning at 06:05 from the aft of Deck...

This has been the sort of day that you have to just laugh about. The forecast called for snow flurries with about an inch accumulation. What we got was fairly light but steady snow for hours, with about 2 inches in Mary Lake and almost 4 inches in the...

I drove down to Skagway on Monday, but I’m so busy that I haven’t had a chance to post the photos until now, 4 days later (and this is being posted at 02:00 am). The weather forecast wasn’t great but I needed to pick up some stuff that’s been...

Some of you may have thought that I was just being negative with my post “Sucked in by the Weather Office Again?“. Well, the forecast that I was referring to called for temperatures of +5°C and showers for today. What we actually have is -25, high winds and heavy...

I don’t really know why I keep reading weather forecasts. Maybe it’s like buying lottery tickets – you know, “hey, it could happen!!”. Here’s The Weather Network’s 14-day forecast for Whitehorse right now, showing the temperatures shooting up from today’s high of -21°C to +1 by Friday and +5...

It’s a tad nippy out there this morning – -31°C (-24°F) – but my god it’s beautiful. This was our view of Golden Horn at 10:16, 7 minutes after sunrise. Today was a “special treat” morning for breakfast (these special treats get more and more common 🙂 ) –...

With many of my friends in the eastern States getting hammered by Mother Nature right now, I have to show you the Whitehorse forecast. This is the way winter used to be before the “global warming” changes began – cold and clear, not much snow (there’s perhaps 5 inches...

I got the snow tires installed on both cars yesterday. This is the first time that I’ve ever been able to do it myself, and saving $240+ for an hour’s work felt great! It takes a considerable investment in extra wheels, and having an air compressor makes the job...
