Well, we did not perish under last Sunday's record snow and cold temperatures - but dang, we can't catch a break from the Anchorage-like temps! All week and into next week as well. Single digits, below 0 at night and early mornings, etc. Winds pushing it down to apparent, -22°F!
As I often experienced during my dawn scooter rides - the temp often drops again right @ sunrise.
Yesterday daughter and I went for breakfast in Y. S. to see how the village dealt with the snow and the cold.
It climbed from -6°F to 14°F with a nice wind while we were there! Windy! Wicked cold on the shaded side of the street!
No one eating alfresco in front of Current Cuisine!

Toasty in Dino's. Popped in for a med shot-in-the-dark. Wicked strong!

I stopped and asked the city workers what they were up to - here in the middle of the road. "So d__m cold - the sewage line froze!"

Daughter, alarmingly!, saying she wishes she had the $750 for the painting next to our table.

...and wanting to stop and pet the cows. ("sorry honey - big truck coming up behind us")

Brrr Stig, that looks cold even in the photos! A very pleasant 8C here and sunny yesterday so I just HAD to go out for an hour or so on the scooter. It'll be my last ride for a week though as the wife comes home from a weekend in Scotland today (visiting eldest daughter for her 40th while I had to stay behind and dog sit) and after a quick turnaround we're then off to Yorkshire for a week.

been cold here, below zero f climbing to mid teens, repeat. I broke my snowshoes about 10 years ago, replaced them with a new pair that I haven't used yet

The weather is doing my head in here in the UK. Never seem to get a dry day. I have handlebars to swap over and some accessories to strip/fit.
Managed a quick fix on the bicycle in the garage today but that's the most I've managed to get done for a while!

Heard that rain has fallen somewhere in England every day this year so far! But. Sun is shining here this morning! Yay!
