Water Freezing at -40F

Welcome to Winter

Well, thanks to a 2-3 month project at Boeing, my blog has been out of commission. Today is my first day home. Now I'll have a little more time to devote to documenting our experiences in beautiful Alaska.

So how are things going? Well, it's cold for starters. Even though this has been a "warm" winter, we regularly experience anywhere from -10 to -40 degrees. We plug our car in nightly to avoid freezing. One night we forgot, and our tires were square and the Exploder would barely move. Hopefully that won't happen again.

We've made a few friends which makes our journey much more enjoyable. It's nice having people to hang out with when it's so dark and cold. For New Year's Eve we went to a Fort Greely Masquerade Ball which was tons of fun. Trevor and I had cools masks, outfits, and a great time.

I've booked my flight home for Feb 17th. I take the bar on the 22-24th of Feb. I'm not looking forward to it; hopefully since I'm home I'll be able to take advantage of the study opportunties.

I've got lots of pictures and videos to post!
