Things get a bit frosty. We have rime frost that's well over an inch thick, and the cold is supposed to stay for several more days.
AccuHunch opines that it's the longest cold snap in at least a decade.
Oh, well, just more of those refreshing Alaskan breezes which Old NFO misses so much.

Oh, Lordy....I can feel the cold!
Very pretty, though.
I prefer the cold weather, mountains, and relaxed living here compared to the Crowded Concrete Canyon I spent the last 30+ years in!
Pretty, but wow that's cold. It does amaze me that the plant life and trees survive it!
Just a tad shiverish!
Me too, my friend. That’s why we live in the forest on the side of a mountain.
It’s a bit nippy if you’re not used to it. These northern plants are apparently variants which have a natural antifreeze in their sap.
A bit. 😊
It is beautiful, Reverence. Seemingly much more beautiful from my warm screen...
A frigid winter scene will always seem warmer from indoors. But if one is dressed appropriately and wants a beautiful scene, one must go to the scene. It was -11 when I snapped that shot this afternoon. It’s-14 now, at a few minutes past 5:00.
ROTF... Um... NOOOOOOooooo... Adak was enough for me, followed up by Eielson and Thule in the 'spring' which meant it was ONLY 40 below and 60 below respectively.
Now I know why we don't have the bitter stuff yet???
Yep, I knew you missed it... like a root canal. 😉
It does seem to be firmly embedded for now. Maybe next week?
Reminds me of the Yampa Valley (NW CO) in February.
Haha.
Love it!
Wish I could still do the cold. 🙂
I suppose there are worse places to be reminded of.
It does have a certain beauty.
