Thanksgiving in Ketchikan

This year for Thanksgiving we headed to Ketchikan to spend the holiday with my in-laws.  It was grey and drizzly most of the week, and we had a bit of a fall storm right around Thanksgiving itself (which is apparently a tradition there).  Earlier in the week we were able to get out and take some photos of the beautiful scenery.

Snow from Totem Bight State Historical Park

First Snow

The last week of October we finally got some snow.  Last year was the snowiest winter in Anchorage's history and this year, we barely have two inches on the ground.  I heard someone say that this time last year we had something like 32" of snow on the ground!

Anyway, below are some pics I took after the first snow, at Peters Creek Park in Chugiak, Alaska.
