Joseph's Grand Adventures

Well here we are at Week 4!  I have been in Juneau for a month now and what an amazing month it has been!  I have learned much about the area, though I still have a lot more to learn.  We had a major snow to begin the week which was quite interesting to experience out and about.  It started the day snowing and by around 10 a.m. it had.accumulated quite a bit.  When I left work at 3:30 p.m., it was hard to get out of the parking lot.  They do a great job of keeping the highway in a drivable condition.  I also learned that the snow is piled up in the middle turn lanes of the road.  It makes sense.  In populated areas, there really isn’t a good place to put piles of snow when you need to clear it out quickly.  I also noticed that the State snow plows, here in Juneau, have a big blade on the front of the trucks and also have a smaller blade in the middle of the trucks.  It is one of my missions to find out more about that additional blade on the snow plow.   I had my Thanksgiving meal at a local church that put together a Thanksgiving potluck for those unable to visit family or have family visit them here. It was quite the event with plenty of good food.
