Although it's spring in Chicago, there's still lots of snow to be found—if you travel far enough north, of course! Despite stronger sunlight and longer days in Alaska, there are still portions of the state with a good deal of snow that has not yet melt. Above is a picture taken last week of a truck in Alaska completely snow-covered (the orange spot is the vehicle's roof, which has just become visible thanks to some recent snowmelt). Next to it is a parked car that's still completely covered by snow.
