OMG! I have an electric car and a driveway that’s almost a quarter of a mile long. El Niño tends to bring ice to the Anchorage bowl due to winter warming/freezing. I’m trying to reduce my reliance on fossil fuels but I need to get to my workplace which is 3 hazardous miles away and I work 12 hour shifts. I have money saved for an electric side by side to plow my driveway but there are none available for sale. Studded tires are great on ice but slide otherwise. On the other hand, La Niño dumped a lot of snow. The neighborhood kid was unable to plow my drive with his four-wheeler and my driveway is too narrow, hilly for professional plow trucks. Additionally, we are soon going to see significant natural gas price hikes. El Niño means a warmer winter but if La Niño returns, will a heat pump keep my house warm? Should I invest in a wood burning stove? I’m a nurse. How do I prepare for climate instability? Emotionally? Financially? I use to be able to go to the Russian River and catch salmon. Not so much anymore. I’m so stressed. Summer isn’t even here yet and I’m already anxious about the upcoming winter.
