Upcoming week's weather

Postby coolhandred » Sun Mar 09, 2008 3:52 pm

I just checked the forecast for the ending stages of the race and it looks to be smooth treking for all of the mushers.
Should prove to be a fast run to Nome. Who benefits the most? The musher with the freshest team.

Pretty damn wild here last night! Trees down left, right and centre...and one of my trailer tents ended up over the fence :shock: :shock: :shock: Think the storm hit Ireland before heading over your way. :cry:

Keep safe guys, and hoping everyone is OK!

Well if your weather is following ours (which it often does) you should get some sunshine later, maybe this evening :)
Beautiful here right this minute!

Much calmer here....but still some strong wind weather warnings for tonight again :|
