Anchorage isn't far enough north to lose the sun entirely, but there
have been plenty of days when that didn't really matter since it was
dark when I left the house and dark when I got home, after spending the
rest of the day indoors. The dark bothers some people more than others.
It never really affects me much (I am a grouch year round) but the cold,
on the other hand...

It is slowly but surely warming up here. The main roads are pretty much
clear of frozen stuff and I could probably drive my 2wd pickup again if
I wanted to get it filthy. The Jeep is already filthy and needs a new
windshield so the truck will stay in the driveway (unless I need it)
until everything dries out.

Of course, we could still get nailed in March and possibly into April so
I haven't put the shovel away yet.

Judging by a couple of winters I spent in Germany, there's no way I
could handle that.

I run 30x9.50R15LT Goodyear MT/R on the TJ, which have been on it since
new (minus 2700 miles on the alcan). I'd like a little taller tire but
at the time I just didn't want to open that can of worms on a new
vehicle. What I would *like* to do when I upgrade, is install a custom
built D44 rear axle with the sensors for my ABS, regear to 4.11, add a
Tera 2T or OME lift, and install LT235/85R16 MT/Rs on 16" rims. That
will give me about a 32x9.25. A detroit electrac would be nice too.

That's some big bucks and it would go a long way towards my airplane
project so I have to decide if it is worth it or not. I figure I can
get through at least one more winter before I have to make a decision
one way or the other. Barring any unforseen changes to my driving
routine my current tires won't be worn out at that point but I like to
have a little bit of margin in the winter.
