About

Our house in December

This years ice carvings from Ice Alaska.

  We experienced some cold weather damage this year. The  all weather metal doors that are made for Alaska's unforgiving weather did not do the job. They froze, expanded and bent. So much for Lowe's and Home Depot. It's back to real wood doors

  46 below zero. Dang if it ain't cold. Even the Weather Channel cannot believe people will live here. Check out one of our local interviews with Tim Mowry who is with the local newspaper. The coldest we have experienced has been 73 below zero which resulted in the whole area shutting down. That event did not get as much attention.

  This video is typical of what we encounter each year.

  The Yukon Quest started from downtown Fairbanks this year. The temperatures were in the -40 range with very dense ice fog. This was too cold for us to stand out there and freeze. So we did the civilized thing and watched it on TV, Channel 11. It was broadcast live this year and everything worked. Here is a short video of the start from KTVF, Fairbanks.
