FrostbitLooks 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.

ScriptusYeah, I have to try and figure out this global warming thing??
Hey Dave, if it carries on snowing, you had better paint that "Cruiser" day-glo orange. You could end up losing it until spring.

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...
Regards,
Robert

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

LHowellWell I guess I'd better pack some long pants, and maybe a hat too!

one time in Montana the artist ,Charlie Russell set a cup of coffee in the window of the cabin he was camping in. It froze so fast the ice was still hot.
