I love when lower 48 friends then give you giant Christmas gifts to ship home rather than drop shipping it directly to you...thereby costing you enough in shipping that you could have bought it yourself of Amazon

But it's the thought that counts I guess?

Out of state friends will be like “oh my GOD I’ve always wanted to go to Alaska!” and then they’ll never visit you because “it’s so expensive, why don’t you just come see me?” 🙄🙃 #AlaskaProblems

#AlaskaProblems fucking FedEx delivery is driving me nuts. I should've had this a week ago. I called them yesterday and they said it should come today. Then it was bounced again until tomorrow. I've been home when they supposedly came by, and I don't have to sign for it, but no! WTF

More public safety work that NOAA does that few people know about, in conjunction with the good people at the USGS. Both are science organizations being threatened by DOGE. #NOAA #NWS #AVO #USGS #supportfederalworkers @standupforscience.bsky.social @standupalaska.bsky.social #alaskaproblems

Do I know anyone in Juneau who has a spare GCI wifi router? My condo association has a basic internet package with them so I think I can get online at home if I can get one - of course the GCI store is closed all weekend #AlaskaProblems

Winter isn’t over, but I’m finally going to break down and get a new windshield. It can’t wait.

You could say I’ve finally cracked.

My exercise this evening was about 90 minutes of shoveling snow to move it before it gets bogged down with rain overnight.

... Then they extended the snow forecast out to noon with another foot expected. So guess who now has a Monday morning alarm set an hour early. #akwx #Juneau #AlaskaProblems

So, it turns out, once the temperature rises a little and the beautiful light fluffy snow gets just a *little* heavier, you can't shift it with a leaf blower. Not even a fairly powerful one.

Yep! And in the email they don’t even give the reason. Just a “sorry.” Amazon has horrible customer service. I wish it were easier to walk away from them entirely. #alaskaproblems

Be careful on walks! You never know who you might run into. In most of Alaska, snow is deep and trails are plowed just enough to pass other folks. I ran into an ultra-MAGA guy and I had nowhere to run so there we were discussing dog shit in the snow and such. Whew! 🙃
