So .. I have a new found appreciation for the people who enter stuff like the Iditarod Race!!

One and a half hours in freezing fog.. actual face ice!

Was SOOOO glad of my new spds and overshoes!! 😯

and beard, I’m guessing

Beards rock.

I know, I have one. Particularly handy at this time of year.

Me too!

Puts the girls off tho, sadly. At least that’s what I tell myself.

8 hrs in it! It feels colder in the partially enclosed shed than it does out on site! Brickies had a brew and all went home, can’t let them lay today! Cladders still here tho handling lovely icy metal sheets!!!

The cable on my droppy post froze, leaving it in “free to move up and down” mode; I spent most of my ride standing up or sitting down with my knees around my ears!

yeah thankful of the winter plumage also. was just so fiercely cold this morning yet not icy on the ground bar some obvious spots.

had man hole cover fear too!

We were on a small hill – sun dropped behind trees about 1pm and the temperature went from over freezing to -5 in about 20 mins. Bonkers.
