High winds batter already frigid Southcentral
Northerly surface winds colliding with an upper-level jet stream have produced gusts of wind up to 70 mph in some places in Southcentral Alaska, sending already freezing temperatures to sub-zero degrees with the wind chill, according to the National Weather Service. Forecasts for tomorrow call for single digit temperatures with winds expected to decline moderately.
Yeah, it's nasty here. All that beautiful powder we were skiing and walking in is blowing around, it's cold!! Seth and I did a little pre-Christmas shopping today and than he came home and started a fire and worked from home while I practiced napping, it's too cold to work at his drafty little office. Ginger and I Spy and I we stay near the fire and relax, it' s what this weather calls for. That and drinking lots of egg nog! The chickens and ducks haven't come out of their house either, they are not that dumb, I added some new straw and feed them lots of corn, they are going to get fat.
With such weather I don't blame Milo for not making his appearance, his home is much nicer, generally surrounded by fancy wool long underwear as a present from his father to his lucky mother. Seth and I put together a list of people to text when he is born so no one will be left wondering, although the calls have started coming in daily, people just wondering how we are doing. We're good, we just keep running out of egg nog.
