I just wanted to let you know that it is still REALLY cold around here, with the thermometer still stuck below -40 degrees!
So, Aliy and Allen have fired up the dog trucks, packed up the hounds and headed for the hills!
According to reports, it is only -25 or so at higher elevations, so the dogs — and mushers! — can get in some much needed exercise before the Copper Basin 300 this weekend.
It’s called a “temperature inversion” around here, and caused — I think — by the coldest, heaviest air settling into the valleys and leaving the higher elevations comparatively warmer.
Whatever and why ever, I’m just happy the SP Kennel Team has gotten out to run today. Nobody — canine or human — is in a particularly good mood around here when there’s no running to be done!
Stay tuned!…
