WINTER NOOS UPDATE


Hello All,

Yesterday, by the time I got my emails completed, the temperature had risen to 3*; throughout the day, it came up even higher, but by nightfall, we were seeing -12* on the thermometer.  That is what the current temperature is still this morning.  I know many of you have heard about the severe weather which Alaska has predicted.  We have felt nothing here out of the ordinary, but I read in the news that up by the coast where Nome is situated (Norton Sound area) there was some extreme wind and flooding.  Places were being evacuated, debris was being washed into the streets, etc.

The moon has been simply beautiful all night and still is this morning.

On Tuesday, Kylin, Andrew, and Landin Casey arrived at noon time and stayed to visit the Casey parents for the day.  Joey arrived after supper for a few hours.  Crazy boy.  He’d worked that day and had school the next day.  I guess he was just missing home!

Meat cutting work night was great.  Uh huh!  Kevin, Tommy, and Kim worked all afternoon in the root cellar breaking the cows into workable pieces.  Then in the evening we all got together to clean the bones and package the meat.  We were done with everything including clean up by 7:30 pm.

Hunters’ breakfast is being held at Trotzke’s home this Saturday at 9 am.  A prize will go to the shooter of the largest set of antlers – so far, the speculation is that the prize will go to the Koehlers for shooting a 54”.  There also will be a prize for the person who can give the best moose call.  Now that would be a fun contest to watch/hear. Rob went with his big sis. and had a good time.

Steve, Rus, and Garth went to town the other day and brought home a new car for the farm vehicle situation.  I’m not big on car names, but I think they said it was a town and country Chrysler?  It has to be winterized before we can use it. 

Come Thursday Rob and I will be attending an adventure day in Tok with the Wildlife Refuge, for correspondence students. Should be fun, hope it is not too cold though, cause we're going to be outside mainly. Will post photos soon.

Pat's back from Copper River and now off to Fairbanks again.

We opened the ski/snowshoe trail, so now will be going to the end of the trail...if the weather holds and it doesn't get too cold too fast...lol

Have a great day!!!!
