I took a drive yesterday to fairbanks. stopped up in hatchers. There is zero snow at the very tops in hatchers. there is no snow in the petersville mountains. there was zero snow in denali. On the whole trip I saw only tiny patches of melted snow on the very tops of the tallest mountains along the highway. Slow start to winter... anyone have any updates?

Temperatures are getting closer to normal.

It looks like there may be a little dusting out near Eureka fri night into sat, but won't amount to much. The temperatures are starting to return more towards normal and we will be in good shape by this weekend, but not much moisture around until Monday and tuesday of next week. It's a long ways out to see how much moisture will actually being moving in, but it looks like a possible snow in petersville maybe up high in hatchers and out near Eureka. I am keeping a close eye on the charts. ;)

Curt said your parts went out the door today. I told him he should have just stuck the turbo kit in that box and save you both the trouble later. :D

Thanks for thinking of me Mike! I have been working 50-55 hours a week since I got back to work. That is enough for this old cripple. Once I get the hospital and doc's paid off, then I cna think about the sled. :D There is always the wifes sled if I don't get to mine hehehe. Gotta be gentle with with me though if I am stuck riding a little old ladies sled guys. :beer;
