Seldovia Snow And Ice
by Jenny Chissus
We woke up this morning with 6-7 inches on the ground here in town along Main Street! The flakes were beautiful, big and lightweight coming down in a flurry. This photo was taken from the City Dock. Huge sheets of ice were making their way out of Seldovia Bay towards Kachemak Bay, though many were getting hung up at the AMHS pier! You can see them all floating out to sea in the next photo!
I love the snow – everything is so white and clean, giving a soft black and white filter to our colorful world! These are precious moments, living in Seldovia, enjoying the quiet of a Sunday morning, with the snow falling all about you, and nothing but an enthusiastic lab to lead your way, as you break through the perfect and untouched layer of fresh snow. There are a few challenges, like finding a few tire tracks to follow so the snow doesn’t come over the top of your boots, keeping your camera dry during the myriad of photo moments, but these are some of my favorite Alaska days! If you are in Seldovia – enjoy the beautiful snow, and check out below, as according to the weather underground, there is more on the way!

Seldovia Time
Well, let me tell you about those ice flows in the harbor and off of Giles point. We (as children) used to hop from ice patch to ice patch to see how far we could go! Imagine my mother and Alta Colberg having heart attacks. We always made it back…but even for us it was…sccccccccccccccary. This is one of those, (don’t try this at home tricks)….fun to remember! Thank you for sharing!
I agree Sandi – it is wonderful! Nice to see you here – thanks for commenting!
I’m soooooooooooo glad it’s warmed up!!!!!
