Fierce winds preceded by quiet ski run



Less than an hour ago, Sulatna accompanied me while I skiied around the trails. It was a bit warm, getting dark, beautiful, and very still. Just now the winds have come up fiercely, in stark contrast. The dogs are hunkering down... things will be blown about tonight, for sure. It feels as if we're playing Yukon Quest out there. Wind chills are expected to get to minus 30-40.


We were visited by either a fox or coyote in the night. I heard "yip, yip, yip" near the front porch, then smelled the musky scent of a fox, the dogs barked and that was that. When I opened the door this a.m. two large rabbits were hiding out on the porch.
