Spoiled

So, we have an auto start button for our Explorer now. I no longer have to sit in a cold car and wait for it to warm up. I can push the button up to a mile away, my doors stay locked and you have to put the key in the ignition to drive. So, it can't be stolen while idling in a parking lot. I have other buttons that tell me how warm it is in the vehicle and I can set it on a timer to turn off in 25 minutes. It will automatically turn itself on if the temperature of the car drops below 14 degrees.
It is a nessecity up here. If you don't have one your car will be broken.

Current weather

It was 48 degrees just a couple days ago. All the snow melted. It all returned overnight and stuck. We currently have about 4 inches. Last night it was 23 degrees. It is now 20 degrees this morning. Wind chill is 13 degrees. snow showers are supposed to happen around noon.
Sunrise around 8:30ish, sunset around 6:30ish.

Jim throwing his small snowball that he was able to make after warming it up in his hands to melt it together.


This was our first time playing in the snow up here in AK. We thought it was a wet snow because it isn't terribly cold yet, but we soon found out it was a powder because we couldn't make a snow ball. This made it hard to play in the snow because we do not have a sled or skiing equipment. (thesnowboarder is not us. It is a young man from Morton WA that Jim had in You mens when he was Young Men's President.)

What`s Your Snow Like?


James and I both have our own areas in our office. It is nice. We can both work on computers at the same time and not have to wait.
James and I arrived in North Pole one week and one day ago. The trip up here was pretty eventful.
I caught air with the explorer, jim saw daylight under all four of my tires. We saw two black bears and a construction worker that looked like a black bear.
We spent three days in a hotel because when we got to North Pole, the guy wasn't moved out of the house yet.
Jim started work the last day we spent in the hotel. We moved into our new three bedroom house that night.
Once I figure out how to add pictures I will.
