This video was sent to me last night. Thought it was pretty cool. I’m getting tired of talking about the weather (especially since I am not experiencing it right now), so this will be my last post about it for a while.

Cold Departure
January 30th, 2012 · 1 Comment
I managed to escape the Fairbanks cold Saturday night. The airport temperature was -49F when we left. The icefog in town has been horrible – nearly impossible to see. The picture above (not a great picture) was taken on the way to the airport. The icefog was so thick, you can barely see the car […]

The weather station near Smith Lake is showing a 8.5C (~13F) difference between the […]

The glow from my winter holiday has nearly been worn off. It has been very cold in Fairbanks for a while now. One of the problems the cold is causing is that my heating fuel is very very cold. The cold fuel has caused my boiler (the primary source of my heat & hot water) […]
Winter Holiday in Kauai
January 16th, 2012 · Comments Off
No doubt it has been a long while since I have blogged, but I have decided to start up again as one of my New Year’s resolutions. Last year was the first year that I had not taken a winter holiday in a long time – or at least been somewhere new and different, if […]
