Mushers Brace For Cold Race

1/30/2012

 
Alaska is having a very robust winter this year, even by Alaska standards!  Temps in Anchorage have averaged 2.7 degrees F during January, one of the coldest on record.  The nearby communities of Cordova and Valdez have seen record snowfall (the latter having gotten over 26 FEET of snow since November).  And right now, Kristy and the other YQ mushers in Fairbanks are getting an early taste of what they can expect out on the trail with air temps dropping to nearly 50 degrees F below zero.

You can read more in an article from this weekend's Fairbanks Daily News - Miner.
