Day 73: Ice Circles

 It snowed today. 

I mean what else is new.

Listen. I love snow. I really, really do. But it's March. Very, very March. It's so March it's almost April. Yet another blizzard blew through, and we have a new foot of snow. 

This tropical vacation couldn't come soon enough. 

We are wrapping up the hockey season in the next week. Practices are now only for the two remaining teams that are waiting for their State tournament: 12U, and the girls tournament. 

We were the first ones to arrive at the rink today. Mind you, the rink is "outdoor", but it has a roof. 

A completely, absolutely useless roof. 

Especially when it's snowing sideways, because Kodiak and it's wind, you know. 

The benches were completely covered in a layer of snow, and when Camden popped on the ice, he was dumbfounded that there was half an inch of snow sitting on top of the ice. 

Those benches and wall tops are red, just so you know. And the floor is black. 

Instead of snow angels, we have ice circles. 

And as I stood on the bench, inside the rink, it was snowing on my head. If this isn't the most Alaska thing you've ever seen. .

Snowing. On my head. Inside the rink.
