Good Morning Iditabuds

[Moose]

Morning! Coffee's fresh and hot, as are the banana nut muffins warming on the stovetop. It's a mild, windless 40F here at Mooselook this morning. Despite the heaps of snow still on the ground, it feels almost balmy out there this morning.

I took a quick look at the standings. No real surprises yet. But I must say that I really admire Jeff King for jumping into his present situation, running an unknown team. Also think Nic is pretty cool to want his dogs, all trained up and ready to go, to experience the trail. Good on both these guys who aren't necessarily friends but share the love of the dogs and the race.

Good “first” morning of the 2022 Irod! Chilly 20s here with new white stuff on the ground.

Got cold here, too, but no white stuff. Windy 40 degrees, quite the departure from yesterday's 81.

Beautiful sunny day if a little cold here in the UK

We had snow in Nebraska yesterday, which put me in the right mood for the Iditarod. It's starting to melt already. I am enjoying having the web cam up at work.

Good morning Buds! What's uo? Did Brent bury his tracker in a snow bank outside of Rohn. Interesting tactic! Wonder where he is, now?

Hehe - yess. Very exciting. Tried to find any updates on him, but so far nothing.

I'm updating Milles facebook, by the way.

Have fun!

Strangely, thunder was heard here last night as well, maybe half a dozen deep grumblings. Temp was in the 40s, no precip falling.
