Looks like fun!!

Here's the North Slope of Alaska, four miles out onto the frozen Beaufort Sea in the winter. I took this shot and just about froze my hands in about one minute.

So, enjoy your dusting and I hope all remains well with the critters.

Just trying to warm you up!!

Rhyme of the Sheep Hunter
May fordings never be too deep, And alders not too thick; May rock slides never be too steep And ridges not too slick.
And may your bullets shoot as swell As Fred Bear's arrow's flew; And may your nose work just as well As Jack O'Connor's too.
May winds be never at your tail When stalking down the steep; May bears be never on your trail When packing out your sheep.
May the hundred pounds upon you Not make you break or trip; And may the plane in which you flew Await you at the strip.
-Seth Peterson

Yeah, I have to try and figure out this global warming thing?? Cool

Hey Dave, if it carries on snowing, you had better paint that "Cruiser" day-glo orange. You could end up losing it until spring. Big Grin

Dave, once again Trina and I would like to thank you for your consideration on holding off the weather until AFTER we left!

And to think that I was, quite literally, there just four days ago...I began to miss Africa before Shane opened up the first gate...

CRYBABY


Regards,

Robert

Ha Ha, next deep Atlantic cold front is supposed to be making landfall over the weekend. Big Grin
Just remember the wooly stuff gets snagged on the thorn bushes and the fancy snow jackets rip on the thorn bushes.
