Kotzebue weather is strange indeed! Earlier this week we had a heatwave. Okay, so it was like 25 degrees, but coming from -60 it seemed like a heatwave to us. So we took Eva and Jeffrey sledding on the pile of snow across the street that was plowed out of our driveway. It was the perfect height for the little ones. They had so much fun! Just look at those facesToday we had whiteout conditions: 60mph winds and -30 temps. Aaron wasn't even able to drive home from work (which is about 1 mile from our house). I tried to go pick him up on the RZR but I only got to the end of the driveway and then I saw nothing. Nothing but white. I couldn't even see our house anymore. Then some guys appeared out of nowhere and told me not to even try going any farther. So I turned around and went back. I even had to wear goggles to bring Zoe in from her house which is about 10 feet from our front door. I felt like I was in that movie The Mist except there were no alien bugs attacking me. You could hear the voices of people walking around you but you couldn't see where they were coming from. Austin captured a small video on his camera phone.
