โ๏ธ I love the snow and I especially love looking at my plants looking at the snow. ๐ฑโ๏ธ
Unfortunately, we moved from very snowy Vermont ๐๏ธ to the not-so-snowy coast ๐ so these moments are fewer and farther between, but they are still perfect ๐

Your plants and I think the sameโฆ.. ๐คฃ WTF is this white cold stuff. Iโve lived in PA my entire life and Iโm still not a snow person almost 40yrs later. Im pretty sure itโs never going to happen. Send me south!!! I keep telling my hubs but now itโs the schools keeping us here for the kids.
@PlantMompy do it!! I'll share all the tricks and if anything, it's definitely cold here. ๐คฃ last years stats: 154 days with max of 32*. 216 days with a minimum temperature of 32.110 days with a minimum of 0* or lower. Highest temp of the year was 86* and lowest, -47*. Total 59.3 inches of snow.
@KDkat3 it's worth it though, winter is here... unreal. I was never really a snow person OR a heat person, but the snow here is different and I love it now. I AM, however, a mountain person and a "recurring celestial event" person. Nothing beats midnight walks in the snow with the aurora dancing overhead. I wouldn't trade it for anything!
@ShadesofGreen I was hoping someone from Alaska would see this.
On my way! ๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ
...or maybe just a vacation until the kids move out and I can come up full time ๐

@PlantMompy I definitely recommend two trips!! One summer, one winter. The wonky daylight and brutal cold is really tough for some people!
If you ever want to come up though, let me know. Would be happy to show you around! Will leave the recurring celestial event here to encourage you to book the flight. โ๏ธ

@ShadesofGreen wow thatโs amazing!!!! Iโm currently in the process of trying to book an Alaskan cruise because my dad turns 70 this year and itโs what he wants to do. Will we still see cool things in September? He definitely wants to see the whales.
@KDkat3 the humpback whales are "peak" viewing until mid September! ๐ The best time I've seen the orcas was July/August, but those were residents. Some of the transitory ones should be around to head back towards the PNW! And you may pass the grey whale migration (they leave Mexico/California and head north during thebsummer/ early fall and winter in the Arctic). I havent gotten to see the Belugas yet! In terms of the aurora, you MAY get lucky depending in when in September! The later in the month the better โค๏ธ do you know which ports you'll be hitting yet?!
@ShadesofGreen wow!!!! ๐คฉ there are a couple we are deciding between. We can do glacier or an inside passage cruise. Most seem to stop in sagway, ๏ฟผJuneau, glacier point, icy straight, Vancouver, Victoria and then back to Seattle. And some have Seward too.
@Boymom-plantmom hahaha PA is a good place but definitely way way different than Texas. Our fall is so pretty but anything much past November Iโm likeโฆ.gahhhhhhh. I stay in unless I have to go out until like May ๐คช๐
@KDkat3 of all the places over been in Alaska, Seward is my FAVORITE. I took my solo "staycation" there a few years back and would move there tomorrow if it weren't for my husband's job. ๐คฃ All Alaska cruises coming from Seattle will go through the inside passage (theres actually 6 inside passage ports though), but 100% recommend any and all glaciers viewing opportunities. I'd strongly recommend picking a cruise that's got maximum relatively CLOSE glacier viewing (or an add on option to get on a smaller boat and get closer) and a bare minimum of 3 or 4 Alaskan ports where you get off the boat! No two "cities" (I use the term loosely) in Alaska feel the same. They each have their own little personalities and are so fun!
The glacier behind us here calved (the pieces are floating behind me) and rocked the boat. You want to be close enough to feel the boat rock, I promise. Also, I strongly recommend fleece or flannel lined jeans. โค๏ธ
