Windy and cloudy, cold and dark

It's Alaska after all, so a person would already expect some degree of cold climate conditions. But Kenai lies close to the Cook Inlet and it's weather comes right off the water. It is generally windier and cloudier and a few degrees colder than other places on the peninsula. It's been a miserable summer with the need to wear jackets outside at almost all times of the day. Even during the usual "warm" months. And then there's the famous dark days of winter. Almost intolerable. And winter is here nearly 8 months! If you don't fish, hunt or snow machine, good luck!
