Subzero Temperatures are Here!

Everyday, it is getting a little darker. We are down to about 4 and 1/2 hours of full sunlight now. Yesterday, I went and stocked up a bit on food. I experienced my first white out conditions over near the post office. It was not snowing, but you could not tell the sea from the sky from the shore. I guess it was due to foggy conditions over the ocean. I was told that means there is still open water somewhere out there.

I logged on to type this. On my computer, I have put the true local temperature. Yesterday it was 14 degrees at this time, wind chill put it below zero. However, just now, the true local temperature is -8 degrees Fahrenheit. Brrrr! We will have to be even more careful outside. Each day, it gets colder, so don't expect it to warm up again until the sun returns. It will be nice to be able to linger outside again. I still walk outside, but it is so icy, I am afraid of falling. If that happens, I will find myself in Anchorage. That is where they take care of injuries and such. 1,000+ miles away. I won't be walking outside as much, but I did find out there is an activity center with a sauna and exercise equipment. I think I may use it. That is all for now! BB
