Monday, January 31st

Good morning! It was a great weekend here in the Interior. We had highs above zero and sunny skies. On Saturday evening, we enjoyed one of our favorite winter sports, UAF Nanook Hockey. The Nooks walloped the Ohio State Buckeyes 6-2. We followed up the victory on Sunday with a hike around Chena Lakes. We have never been to the lake area in the winter. So, we were amazed by all the activities. There were people ice fishing. There were people skijoring. There were snow machiners. In fact, I think we were the only two people with our winter hiking boots on and walking. It was a beautiful day filled with sunshine!

The weather this week looks to be just a promising as the weekend. While there is a mention of snow tomorrow through Wednesday evening, the temperatures should remain above zero during the day and around 10 below zero at night. For the end of January and the beginning of February, I can't complain!
