From Alaska

The snow is here. Nope, that white expanse in the sky is not a cloud. It's
"termination dust," as we call it. The very first snow.

These aren't dramatic photos unless you live here. We know what's coming, despite the benign beginnings. That white line will just keep creeping down the mountain until it's all over your yard and your car. September 15, it is legal to put on your studded snow tires. No one does it until about October 15, when the smell of real snow is in the air. Or better yet, wait until the first big snow fall and one unnerving slip 'n' slide to work. That night, in the cold and dark, you will put on your studded snows.

This entry is absolutely just an excuse to say hello to all you 2007 Knights.
