Hello,

Temperature yesterday went up into the upper 30's and even (ugh!) the low 40's. Today's forecast calls for rain and freezing rain, and then it's forecast to turn a bit COOLER tommorow, and into next week. I hope the cooler ajir arrives before the dogs Wet and sloppy snow on the ground here at the moment, and it sure would be nice if things firmed up a bit.

[sc-race-fan]

Tangles, please pour me a cup.. Love the "heater lantern".

[tanglefoot]

fresh cup on the way...its really neat and only cost $16.00 (£8.49) .. takes a while toboil but if you leave the kettle on between cups it keeps it toasty warm! one lump of sugar or two?

[maxandtuk]

if the temps stay this warm were gonna see mushers trading sleds for 3 wheel rigs...whats up with this???

[sc-race-fan]

Tangles, No sugar, just black.... sorry about the delay in response, had to do teh 10 am feedings. Here is our 3 wheeler...
