Hey Dennis:
Your not missing a thing !!!
This picture was taken a couple of days ago looking towards the back of our home.
I just took this one (below) at the front of our home, in fact it's snowing here right now. Your wrong about the igloos, there every where up here now. Things have changed dramatically since you have lived up here. If you look closely Dennis, in the back ground of the bottom picture you can see a couple of igloos across the road. In fact just the other day I had to battle with a Polar bear to get my car out of my driveway !
Like I said your not missing a thing !!!
