Yes when we lived in Anchorage I remember winters when the cross braces on the swing set out back were under the snow. Being from GA I was impressed, being from Valdez my wife was not ;-) Last winter was similar was it not? The water levels in the Kenai last summer were kind of dicey for bigger boats. My buddy never put his big Willy's in and stuck with his old Woldridge sled.

Don't know about Kodaik but here in Anchorage we are on track for a record low snowfall. Last I heard total accumulation was 19 inches with the record low being 30 inches.
I can recall days in past winters getting 20 - 30 inches in one day.

Snow has become somewhat of an oddity on Kodiak hasn't it??? Funny, my uncle was stationed there during WWII and his pictures have up to 4' of snow. He said it was like that both years he was there.

The kids never got to sled due to pulling out all the stuck people, but with skinnies, chains and a plow with the weight of the camper, we went almost wherever we wanted till we hit about 2ft of snow...

Last year we had ~ 10-11 feet of snow in Anchorage. We also had snow fall in May which is extraordinarily unusual for here. The climate is going bonkers here. We have such a varied climate based on location within the state it's amazing. Like here in Anchorage right now its +34 degrees outside. My buddy stationed in Ft. Greely in Fairbanks a few hundred miles away is subject to -30 degree days. That's the reason I stayed in town for College instead of transferring to UAF in Fairbanks. I know if I woke up for class and had to trek through the campus when it was 50 below zero outside I just would have it the snooze button.

Is it just an illusion or does your trailer sit low in the front? The truck appears level.

That was such a beautiful day. The very next we were back in the 40's and lots of wind and rain. The snow was gone by Tuesday. This morning it is in the low forties with heavy rain. We had an inch before midnight, and we are closing on an inch since midnight...
Since the kids and I had today off, we were thinking of going camping last night, but with 40-50 mph winds and heavy rain, I didn't feel like loading up the camper and going out the road camping....

I graduated from UAF in '78. You do get used to it. I drove school bus for a couple of winters while going to school. I'll say this, when you pass -40 it is a whole different world. I remember one December when the high for the month was -42.
