It's snowing this morning here at the Bolt Hole. It's not sticking, however. The temperature's hovering at the freezing mark but it's supposed to warm up so the precip will become all rain this afternoon. Yeah, the rain came last evening about an hour after I posted about how it hadn't arrived yet.
It's toasty warm inside and that's where I'll stay today doing some house cleaning, a jigsaw puzzle, a crossword or two and maybe finish reading One Man's Wilderness: An Alaskan Odyssey by Sam Keith about Richard Proenneke's 1968-69 adventure in building a cabin and living in the wilderness at the Twin Lakes about 170 miles west of Anchorage.
Tomorrow promises to be a good day with the temps rebounding to the 60 degree mark and lots of sun. That will be the time to start hauling the slash around. Saturday and Sunday will be more of the same. Hope the black flies hold off for a while.

I hear rumors it may hit 80 this weekend! Bet we will see some thunderstorms out of that if it gets that warm...
Mr. Proenneke's adventure took place when the Homestead Act was still in place. The Act expired in the mid-80s, unfortunately.
His cabin and cache have been made exhibits in a State Park ... access, as is normal, is an issue.
Enjoy the warm weather!
