I don't ever remember having any problems in Anchorage. I don't know if it was because there weren't any problems, or if I just don't remember them.

We did have problems in ND one year, even though we had enough snow that it was up to the roof of the garage every year. There was a blizzard that started the Tuesday after Easter. It didn't stop snowing until that weekend. We were snowed in until Wed or Thur.

Good times, especially since my father fertilized the lawn the week before and ended up having to mow the lawn twice a week that summer.
