The ocean has started to freeze up some more. It's not totally frozen yet, but there are lots of icebergs floating around and some patches of ice across the water. I NEED to get out and get some pictures this week before it freezes completely. This week we are supposed to finally see some temperatures in the single digits. I don't think it's really been below the teens yet (at least not much, if at all) so we will start bundling up more.
Mr. Tundrateacher and I both have heavy parkas with fake fur ruffs around the edge of our hood. These help keep us warm. When we are going to be outside for an extended period of time (like walking somewhere or out for an activity), we wear Carhart overalls to keep us warmer. We both have decent boots, heavy gloves, and knit hats with flaps over the ears for protection against the wind. Some teachers who spend a lot of time walking outside get crampon type things to clip onto their boots for better traction on the ice.
In honor of our snowy flighted friend, this week's challenge is to learn three interesting facts about the snowy owl.
**Special note to my New Zealand reader: If you email me at the address on the right, I can give you more information about finding teaching jobs in Alaska (if you are seriously interested).
