It's been snowing just south of Whitehorse for about 5 hours now, and we have well over an inch of snow on the ground in my yard - http://www.explorenorth.com/wordpress/ (it's a lot deeper than that now - that photo was 9:30).

Take care!

Hey, I'm not responsible for this!

Twice I've tried to move my snow scraper--just from the front seat to the back seat! And it snowed! Once was a record setter the other just a couple of inches.

So I've still got the scraper in the front seat. Not taking any chances!

Maybe 'global warming' will straighten that out --- in a few years.

Frantic Follies is an excellent show - great fun. Other must-sees are the film at the Visitor Reception Center, the sternwheeler SS Klondike, the Yukon Wildlife Preserve, Miles Canyon, the stained glass in the Territorial Government Building. If you're into museums we have several very good ones - the MacBride and the Log Church downtown, and the Transportation Museum and Beringia Center by the airport.
