Land of OTZ our hope to have snow for the 4th of July

[Rex in OTZ]

we still have some snow left at sea level (arctic coast Alaska), snow drift plugging the draw we use to drive down on to the beach below our radar site road.
hope to munch water mellon and go sledding on the 4th of July if that darn june rain holds off.

The OTZ lagoon is tidal fed and the pictures were from June 23rd.
