Still Snowing

I know I've always joked about living in eternal winter, but now I think it might actually be true. I woke up this morning, expecting to step out of my room into another brisk and clear day in Haines, but instead there was already 3" of snow of the front door step, and it hasn't stopped snowing all day. 

However, Mosey's (one of my favorite Haines eateries) is open and I've already managed to get in two Halibut burritos this week. It's little things like Mosey's fish burrito that make Haines a wonderful place. 

Tomorrow is my first day off in town, and I was hoping to hit up some of the hiking trails around town, but it looks like they are all still going to be covered in more snow than my trail runners can handle. It looks like the agenda instead is going to include sleeping in, checking out the Mountain Market and getting a little bit of laundry done. (Exciting I know!)

Today is the one week mark since I left Salt Lake City, and it feels so much longer and shorter than that at the same time. It's hard to leave a place once you feel like you've finally built a home and a community there. I miss SLC, but at the same time am so glad to know that I'll be going back to a place where I feel so at home.
