There is around 2 feet of snow on the ground, ice-cold and frigid, with dispersed and light snowfalls spaced throughout the week. It was a “Snowy White Valentine’s Day” in S.E. Alaska! Very still, silent , and with a peaceful absence of the standard faint ambience heard in the background of the atmospheric surroundings. Some notion of sleep was expressed through the spirit of the natural world and wavering thought, breath and existence seemed to breathe through the trees (which are still covered in a few inches of snow). ❄️❤️☕️🎼🌌🔭🌲  Currently it is 27 degrees, and clear.  The precipitation is 0%, Humidity is 89%, with 0 mph winds.
