Just noticed you are in Anchorage - 8" sounds pretty good to me. We once spent 6 months in Fairbanks and Prudhoe bay - bit of a shock to the system as we came straight from Saudi!!!

Pretty cold in the UK at the moment - the wind chill is very nasty. Looks like we have got the same weather you have but our winds are worse!!!
