We woke this morning to a promise of cold and wind. The moon confirmed the forecast by hanging bright over Douglas Island during my 8 AM commute.  Later at work, the sun muscled its way through morning clouds to turn golden Gasteneau Channel. We braced for it to release the Taku Winds by warming Mt. Juneau’s summit so the winds may can rush to town in rude gusts.  Instead of sun, a blanketing snow storm moved up channel to paint mountain and town in white. It still falls but tomorrow they promise the sun.
