Brrr

The temps are starting to fall! Later this week it's supposed to be a high of 17. Of course, that's nothing compared to what February will be like. That's always our coldest month. Right when the sun comes back after the 24 hour darkness, the wind picks up and the temperature sinks down to -30 at times.

The lagoon had some icy spots just on the surface today. Soon, we will start to see chunks of ice and small icebergs floating in the ocean towards shore. Then the ocean will gradually start to freeze up. That is truly a magnificent sight, and I will be sure to share many photos of the frozen Arctic ocean!

I would like to start posting more info and pictures on our schools, the houses, things to do in town, etc. If there's something you want to know more about, please don't hesitate to ask!
