Savage weather

The Anchorage Daily News reports that mushers in the Copper Basin are dealing with savage weather conditions: dogs are happy, but methods to keep them covered including using fox tails for the males. The trucks are not happy and must be kept plugged in or running. The humans are using every bit of gear to prevent frostbite including handlebar covers/shields.

At this moment Lance Mackey is leading and Allen is in the top four, but it looks to me (what do I know?) as if he's in the top two, for now. Photos on www.cb300.com show it all, whew!
