@Alaskan ... Saw this ''Deltawide swath of Alaska through Monday, covering regions from the Eastern Alaska Range to the Yukon Delta Coast." And the suggested 5' in some places, only 8-12 in others. 😳
Plus the cold is to drop on into upper 48. So blooming trees & young plants will be hit hard...
Shrimp! I accidentally thawed a 2# bag 😵💫 wanted some but now it'll be a couple days event! Steamed. Garlic buttered w/spaghetti. Salad. Use it up. 😋 What a way to eat. Nice mistake.
