It was -26 when I left the house this morning, and -31 by the time we got to the high school. I dropped my son off early...the basketball team is flying to Kodiak, Alaska to play. -20's I can be out in, for awhile. -30 and colder is really too cold to do anything outside, and stuff starts breaking (like plumbing, cars, etc.) This is not usual even for here. People who've lived here 20+ years are saying it is the longest lasting cold snap they remember. We've had colder (-43 was the record at our house) but it only lasted a couple of days, and that was 10 years ago.
On the way home, I saw a clear view of Mt. McKinley, in Denali. So I stopped to get a picture. We also saw 7 moose on the way in.

On a clear day, I can see it from just down the street ("I can see McKinley from my house.") Does that sound like SP?![]()

OK, if you don't laugh you'll cry, right? Things like broken toes sound so minor, but I know for a fact they hurt like HECK! Yeah, you put pressure on your toes every time your body moves, and you'll never know that unless you break one. Heal quickly!
