  • The storm that kept on coming. Things are still shut down, people without power for 5 days, heading back to 35 below zero, the roads are a big mess, what else can happen? Here's hoping that because 2021 is going out like a Lion, 2022 will be the calm after the storm. Happy New Year's Eve everyone 🎉🥶❄

    Happy New Year ladies.
    Watching Mary, I wanted to climb through and help her.
    You really need a deep wooden handle livestock shovel to lift and pitch.
    The scoop kind you have looks painful and shallow.
    I'm here watching another storm fall for weekend after all ours melted causing flooding again...
    Please stay safe and warm.

    • @AlaskanBearsVlogs

      The snow is so strange here, it didn't stay sticky very long or that metal shovel would have been great to use. We have a huge snow scoop but let the man handle it, HAHA. The cold weather is coming, it looks like all sun for the next 10 days, hopefully we will see some aurora 🥰💚💛🧡 Happy New Year to you!

    Hi Sherry, Mary and Heather. 💜 Well, we did it - made it through another year. ⌛⌛⌛ Happy, Happy New Year. We wish you all many blessings in 2022. Loved the video. Sherry, you are such a trooper. It looked very scary driving. I don't know if I would have the nerve but you make it look so easy. And, then, there is the shoveling. I have back issues so if I did even a small part of what you ladies shovelled, I probably would not be leaving my physical therapist's office. 🤣🤣. Kip and Beean looked so happy playing in the snow 🐾🐾🐾🐾. Our Biscuit does not even like cold weather. Hope things are more normal next week. Hugs.

I do have friends in Grand Rapids Michigan that got snow though, so winter is finally arriving. Good luck to you. I live in town, I think the longest I have ever been without power in town is 10 hours. The first winter we moved into the house, we were out of power for 4 hours, it got really cold really fast, inside! Used to be we didn't have to close the gate and Kip would stay in the yard, now everyone in our neighborhood has at least 2 dogs and he knows it, so we have to close the gate. It's moving now. Happy New Year!

  • @Dbusdriver71
    @Dbusdriver71 2 роки тому +1

    The snow looks heavier then I remember it. During CQ I would shovel the walkways out side the Barracks just to keep busy and awake; I get really good at it. Denali? I will say that driving thru the center of town, it looks like it was during my time there. People spent a lot of time and effort shoveling clear the walk ways and driveways in town and on base. The gas powered ones were not available yet there yet. Forgetting about the tracks happens from time to time Sherri so don't feel bad, especially when they are covered by snow. I hope the time is passing smoothly while you wait for the storm to pass.

    • @AlaskanBearsVlogs
      @AlaskanBearsVlogs  2 роки тому +1

      The indigenous people called Mt. McKinley "Denali", they renamed it officially in 2015, it's not called Mt. McKinley anymore, it's Denali. And yes the snow is awful, wet and heavy, it's not suppose to be that way here. I am kind of liking the time off, my paychecks not so much 😉😢 Happy New Year 🎉

People are charging $500 or more to shovel them off and leaving the snow against the house. I bought a snow rake, hopefully it will work.

So last Thursday we pushed 6” of snow all the way to Fairbanks in order to get to doctors appointments. No plows met us It took 3 hours each way. Governor Dunleavy is going to change that cause we need to be able to get to Fairbanks to shop since no store here. We were wondering why the roads been lousy in the past.
