Finally...Some Clouds Bring in Warmer Weather (Jan. 20-22, 2012)





But human is okay? How would a dog owner control this? (A sign posted where we ski.)

Basketball and cross country skiing continues to keep us busy. Jon's team is currently 3-2. My ski team had their first meet in Soldotna on Friday. It was a classic race and they all did well, many of them placing. It was cold all week. Our ski practices every day this past week showed temps around -9, but we were troopers and practiced outside despite the cold.

Sunday finally brought some clouds in making the temps much warmer. We reached a high of 14 today. We went skate skiing in the early afternoon and then took a quick trip down to the beach in the early evening. The Cook Inlet is full of ice chunks. We have been seeing a lot of moose in town, both in Kenai and Soldotna. This is usually a sign of too much snow. The moose are able to find food much easier in town. Although we have not seen too many, we have many snowshoe hares around our house. Their tracks are all over our deck, front yard, and the steps leading up to our side door. I think they are spending some time under our deck as well.

Sunrise- 9:46 AM
Sunset- 4:46 PM

The days continue to get longer!
