acchikocchiYou may recall mention here of Mt. Redoubt, a volcano about 90 miles from Anchorage that has been on the verge of erupting for almost two months. ^^; Overnight it finally did... five times. USGS spokesman says it's probably not over yet; I really, really hope he's wrong ahaha. Fortunately the winds are in our favor and there's no ash expected to fall on Anchorage yet, to the disappointment of ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mananeh who was looking forward to "apocalyptic photos of ash falling". XD Some flights have been cancelled, mostly in-state, but there are a bunch of skiiers on their way up for the US Nationals who are now trapped in Seattle. And my brother's home for spring break and kind of needs to get back to school on Friday, so, uh, we hope that'll work out. On the bright site, everyone involved in the Iditarod, which happened a couple weeks ago, is very luck because there's ash falling on part of the route and I have no idea how they could possibly have managed the race. (Though that would make for a great headline: "Dog sled race cancelled because of volcanic eruption...")
Did I mention six inches of fresh snow yesterday morning? No? Good thing I didn't make the "hey, everything is melting andspring breakup is coming!" post I intended because clearly that was nothing but wishful and deluded thinking. Sob. Actually the end of March isn't so bad. It's when you get 18 inches on April 25th (see: last year) that you start really questioning your life choices to date. Like, "GOD WHY DO I LIVE HERE."
...a cheerful post so far. Quick note, I've officially signed up for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
jentfic_remix so consider that extra pressure to anyone wobbling on the edge of joining. Tomorrow's the sign-up deadline! Give me more material to potentially remix. Please. :D
Hockey blather for my own sake: good thing Friday's game locked up our tournament berth, because Saturday's game... well. Best not spoken of. Wince. Facing Northeastern Saturday in Grand Rapids, MI -- why didn't this happen while I was still in the Midwest? I DON'T KNOW. Good chance against Northeastern, not so good chances if we advance beyond that unless Bemidji upsets Notre Dame, i.e. a miracle happens. I remind myself to be content with what I have. (How I miss Moulson. Where is a decent offense when you need it. ;_;)

Six inches of snow?! *pets*

It's supposed to warm up later this week... but it's also supposed to keep precipitating, which means rain/sleet. eep!

Date: 2009-03-25 10:27 am (UTC)Hockey is the sport of the gods, imho. Though soccer's up there, too. You even have a local NHL team and everything to follow! (Though I mainly stick to college hockey myself so I have no idea if the Capitals are any good. XD)

Date: 2009-03-25 11:29 am (UTC)true about the melting.
<333333 (lol i have no idea if the capitals are any good. um. i had a classmate who followed them, and i think they weren't so hot but getting better, and i vaguely feel like there was something about debate over moving the stadium, or not idk. I'm from the pittsburgh area, so i am required to like the Penguins, which is good, because i do. *___________________________________* i was such a tiny little penguin fan. Paul Coffee was my absolute hero.)
