Brrr… Cold

The skies cleared up last night, the moon was clearly visible, and the air got rather cold. The sunset was quite picturesque. I only had my BlackBerry for a camera, so what you see is the best I could do.

We were at another house all day, and by the time we were ready to head home, all the water on the pickup had turned to ice. Now that we’ve been here two years, I’ve developed enough sense to not turn on the windshield wipers without first testing to see if they are frozen to the glass – which they were. It wasn’t too cold, so I got some water and poured it onto the glass to melt the ice and unfreeze the wipers. With that done it was an easy drive home.

We awoke this morning to clear skies and frosty ground. Our outside thermometer read 31. The airport weather station is reporting 27.

We are heading up to Juneau tonight. The ferry leaves this evening and will arrive in Juneau early tomorrow morning. We’ll have to find a place to park – probably at the terminal – for a few hours until things open up.
