Brrr ... it's cold outside

Alaska is in the middle of a deep freeze ... days on end of minus 20 degrees in Anchorage ... and much, much colder in the interior. It's a great excuse to hole up inside ... get to all those random chores and read a book ... but when cabin fever sets in ... there's only one things to do ... call the neighbors, grab the cross country skis, bundle up and head outside. Once you get moving ... frosty cheeks and eyelashes can be kind of fun. In the picture I'm with friends Wendy and Scott.
