If these pix's don't make you feel cold......

When I woke up this morning it was +3°F and a heavy fog. They were right when they said heavy, because it was falling like snow. We knew we wanted to go take pix's today, but didn't know where. We decided to keep it close to home.

After breakfast at our usual place, we decided we needed to go home and put on warmer clothes. Even though it had warmed up to +5°F, the wind chill was a killer. It felt like -5°. The temps are suppose to get a little better later in the week.

I was surprised to see so much open water at Ship Creek. I guess because it's moving so fast it's not totally freezing. Nice thing was I didn't see any ducks or geese. That means they finally migrated. I double dog dare you to put your tongue on that railing.

Even though the weather was cold, it made for some good pix's. The tide was out and all of the ice boulders and heavy frost was just attracting us to take more and more.

We headed on down towards the port. This whole area is owned by the Alaska Railroad. They are constantly improving the area to make it more tourist friendly. That's good for me because I'm a resident tourist. There was a strong cold wind coming off the inlet. Ruth didn't brve it for long, but I just had to get in a few more shots.


More ice boulders, more frozen machinery. I don't tink the Cosmic Wind is going anywhere's today.
