IT'S BEEN AWHILE SINCE I SENT YOU ANYTHING ABOUT THE WEATHER. IT WAS KIND OF HARD TO GET INTO IT, DUE TO AN EVENT THAT HAPPENED NEW YEARS EVE. MANY OF YOU KNOW AND HAVE BEEN GREETED BY THE "YORKIE DOG TEAM". ONE OF THE YORKIES, BOO BEAR WAS KILLED BY AN OWL ON THAT EVENING.
BOO WAS A GREAT FRIEND TO ALL OF US AND WILL BE MISSED..AS YOU CAN TELL AND MOST OF YOU KNOW, WE ARE VERY CLOSE TO OUR DOGS.BUT ON WITH THE WEATHER... IT IS CURRENTLY +10 DEGREES AND WE RECEIVED A DUSTING OF SNOW OVER NIGHT. IT HAD BEEN QUITE COLD AND WINDY EARLIER IN THE WEEK. WE HAVE AROUND TWO FEET RIGHT AROUND THE LODGE AND MUCH MORE IN THE HILLS IN THE AREA. WE HAVE QUITE A BIT OF TRAFFIC GOING OUT THE DENALI, SO IT'S WELL TRAVELED. ONE OF THE COLLEGES IS DOING SOME TESTING OF COLD WEATHER AND IT'S ASTHMATIC EFFECTS ON HUMANS AND ANIMALS.
RIGHT NOW THE CONDITIONS ARE GREAT FOR SOME TOURING OF THE AREAS FROM HONOLULU CREEK TO BROAD PASS (IT'S A LITTLE WIND BLOWN), AND OUT THE DENALI. PLEASE WATCH FOR ANY TEAMS ON THE DENALI TRAIL.
THAT'S ABOUT IT FOR NOW...
