-32 and Dropping

Yesterday it was -32 degrees which shuts down only a little in Fairbanks. That little being school recess and the ski hill. I have found that wearing the right clothes for me is not the issue, but convincing the kids that they need to cover thier face and stop taking off the gloves has been a problem. At times I have resorted to athletic tape to force them to leave the mittins on which is not the greatest of ideas. CJ wants to make a snowman but unfortunately the snow is too dry, almost like sand without the weight. We have yet to go tubing on the slopes and have setteled for just some sledding around the neighborhood. Have a happy holliday season and stay warm!
