The Asgard Tor at the Granite Tors in the Chena River State Recreation Area near Fairbanks, Alaska. One of my favorite places to hike (or snowshoe) year-round.

A winter night in the boreal forest near Fairbanks, Alaska. The full moon lights up the snow-covered ground, casting deep shadows from the spruce and willows. Ice crystals on the surface catch the light, sparkling in the still, cold air. This is easily one of my favorite (non-aurora) night images!

Another 4" of snow overnight, so almost 12" in the last week. We were starting to get really worried about wildfires this spring because there was so much dry undergrowth around. This will help. #Alaska #Anchorage #BearValley #MyAlaskaWx #Snow

6:00AM: 36F, overcast.
We must have had a snow flurry last night because my phone's lock screen had snow falling over my forest scene.
Nothing stuck, however. At least where I am.
100% chance of snow showers today, so maybe I'll get another crazy pic of 50 cent piece sized flakes!
Come to think of it, are 50c pieces still in circulation? I haven't seen one in years.

This moose has an ear tag. He's also being quite chill on a Sunday afternoon. We had about an inch of snow yesterday, but it's already gone here. Photo by Lacee Johnson. #Alaska #AlaskaWildlife #Moosetodon

No real snow since November, bare grass up until 3 days ago at the house and now this. False spring got me again this year ;) #Alaska #Anchorage #BearValley #Snow #NotSpring #MyAlaskaWx

Sometimes I get anxious to leave my home, which is ironic because I do generally feel more comfortable out in nature. But I always go back to this photo when I need a reminder of feeling brave on a path, during my lone treks in Alaska.

A jumbled mess of seracs and an ice arch in the Gabriel Icefall on the Gulkana Glacier. Seracs form where two or more crevasses intersect, often creating towering blocks of unstable ice.
I have a short article on crevasses here: https://www.lwpetersen.com/definitions/glaciers/crevasse-glacier/

6:30AM: 30F, clear.
Snow is likely tonight (60%), then 80% rain/snow Monday.
John is heading out to get a couple of days fishing in before Tuesday's 35SE gale.
Tuesday is also his birthday, so I guess his present is a bit of weather excitement! Well, that and a lemon meringue pie.

A very rare treat today while driving down to Seward. Orcas in Turnagain Arm! #Alaska #Anchorage #Orca #Whales
https://www.eyeonalaska.com/blog/2025/3/15/orcas-in-turnagain-arm
EyeOnAlaskaPost- EyeOnAlaskaWe almost never get to see Orcas in Turnagain Arm near Anchorage. Traffic was stopped at McHugh Creek as I was driving down to Seward, and no wonder. The last time I saw any Orcas in Turnagain Arm was 1990. A nice sized family group with what looked like a couple of youngsters.
