And the U.S. Navy has announced that it's naming the next Arleigh Burke destroyer, hull number DDG-128, after deceased Alaska Sen. Ted Stevens. That's a big deal for us. :)

Wow Reverend. That just sounds bitterly cold to my (now) Southern blood.
Brrr! Looks like along the Yampa River in NW Colorado.
Now -28 here at Kenny Lake Ak.
12 degrees here this AM. Froze the mud so the walking was good.
TB, it's not particularly cold for us. But it's colder than many ever see, so we understand.
WSF, the main difference is that we're less than a thousand feet above sea level.
Howard, welcome! -28 is a good start to an Alaskan winter. I kinda sorta wish it was that cold here. Yeah, I'm one of those people. :)
threecollie, if it's going to be muddy, then "frozen" is the best kind.
I remember those days. Any ice fog?
Stay warm and be safe, Reverend. God bless!
Linda, we get freezing fog, but actual ice fog is found only farther north. For better or worse, it doesn't get quite cold enough, this far south.
Ah, yes. When we were in Fairbanks they called it ice fog. Would get really bad in the winter with all the cars on the road around the bases.
But at the same time it was kind of neat, too.
Linda, a "freezing fog" forms a thick frost which is difficult to melt or clear. Ice fog forms crystals, like sugar crystals on a string hanging in a glass of sugar water.
