Winter is coming ....

In spite of the fact that we have had two full days of rain here in North Pole, the temperature has dropped tonight below freezing! Besides the fact that it will make getting to work in the morning a scary event, I am so happy to see the cold temps moving in!!  There are so many reasons winter is my favorite season.

1. Snow covers everything and makes it so pretty.
2. The snow cover keeps the dogs out of the dirt/mud.
3. MUSHING
4. Winter camping with the dogs.
5. The frozen ground makes it next to impossible for the dogs to dig out by going under the fencing.
6. The frozen turds are easier to pick up off snow.
7. The enjoyment Tom gets from running dogs.
8. The fun of running teams!!
9. No lawn mowing!!
10. Wood stove heat to keep us warm!
11. Curling up with a warm blanket with a book.
12. Shoveling snow!!!

Just for the record, I do not like when we get the temps below 25 or 30 below!!  I hate that as much as everyone else in the state of Alaska!!  But when we have temps between +10 and -25 ... H E A V E N on Earth!!

I hope you are about to enjoy the winter season as much as we are!!

Happy Trails!
C & T & the gang!
