Conference information will be posted on the WestPac website. It has been an unusually warm winter in Anchorage. We've had a December of little snow. Nature cruelly took the 6-12 inches we did receive at the end of the month with a spell of heavy rain and warm temperatures, leaving behind sheets of ice and patches of grass. My Alaska State Court Law Library friends are depressed.
Winters here are dark.
On December 21st, the darkest day of the year, we had about 5 hours of daylight. True, we've turned the corner and now gain a little more light each day, and The City of Lights program sets front yards all over town atwinkle, but it's the great outdoor recreation opportunities help people keep their spirits up. A shortage of snow means no snowboarding for this buffalo, or skiing, or skijoring, or snowshoeing. Sales of shoe-spike contraptions are booming. I'm sure the humans envy me my steady four-footedness.
