Seldovia Snow And Ice
by Jenny Chissus
We woke up this morning with 6-7 inches on the ground here in town along Main Street! The flakes were beautiful, big and lightweight coming down in a flurry. This photo was taken from the City Dock. Huge sheets of ice were making their way out of Seldovia Bay towards Kachemak Bay, though many were getting hung up at the AMHS pier! You can see them all floating out to sea in the next photo!
I love the snow – everything is so white and clean, giving a soft black and white filter to our colorful world! These are precious moments, living in Seldovia, enjoying the quiet of a Sunday morning, with the snow falling all about you, and nothing but an enthusiastic lab to lead your way, as you break through the perfect and untouched layer of fresh snow. There are a few challenges, like finding a few tire tracks to follow so the snow doesn’t come over the top of your boots, keeping your camera dry during the myriad of photo moments, but these are some of my favorite Alaska days! If you are in Seldovia – enjoy the beautiful snow, and check out below, as according to the weather underground, there is more on the way!

Weather Delays for the AMHS
Editor’s Note: The Kennicott was scheduled to be in Seldovia on Friday (12/13) morning at 7:00am, but due to these delays, it is not expected to make it to Seldovia until Friday evening – perhaps around 7:00pm. Please plan accordingly, and call to confirm the progress of the vessel. Here is a link to the site where you can see the actual location of every AMHS ferry in the state – a very handy tool!
