Snowdrifts in Shaktoolik


In a town known for its windy weather it is no surprise to find 8-10 foot high snow drifts. I took this picture while standing on top of a drift in the middle of the road. The road needed to be plowed daily with front end loader. Some days even snowmobile could not get through.









Buddy and I are posing atop a large drift on the beach. I have been tempted to ski down one, but would end up on the sea ice and it is rough in places.









A windy day doesn't stop people from going visiting.
This is a picture of a mentor teacher in her parka heading down the road. It was taken two weeks ago- today you would not see the building to the left due to drifts and plowing.

Yes, this is a house. If you look carefully you can see the door.
