We have gone through chinook winds and below zero temps. And while all this was occurring I was fighting the battle of the cold that would not let go. I spent the last four days sleeping and eating and drinking everything with vitamin C in it to try and get better. I think I am finally feeling human again.
While I was fighting the cold with long naps and followed by fits of sneezing and coughing the Naknek fishtival was going on. I missed the penquin dip. The temperature outside was above freezing but the winds were gusting above 40 mph and the neighbors tell me lots of brave souls jumped into the water. No one over 40 did the crazy thing but there were quite a few who had to show their bravery. It was cold out on the ice with the wind blowing and you shivered just watching the proceedings I was told.
We have had all this beautiful snow and I have been sick since I got back from vacation so I haven't been able to enjoy it. Yesterday it was almost 40 degrees outside and our snow is beginning to melt. I am not happy about that as I have yet to get the snowshoes out and enjoy the snow. As I lay on the couch resting yesterday I heard a rumble. The sound grew louder and as I looked out the window I saw an avalange of snow fall from my roof. Mounds of snow roared as it slid down the roof and tumbled to the ground. I did not realize that I had so much snow on the roof. The sound was ominous and the sight was funny. And that is as much adventure as I have had this weekend. Not much!
