This is what it looked like
yesterday afternoon, around 2:30. The blizzard had finally made it's appearence!! While it snowed all day, we all worked on getting sleds ready. We stayed in the garage and out of the snow and cold. Although it's not overly warm in the garage either. It was a good chance for us to get our hands on the sleds and see them up close. We will be spending a lot of time on them. The first sled ride will have to wait just a couple more days. It's quite a project digging out from all the snow, and temperatures are becoming frigid!! Tonight the temp will be about -22. Tomorrow, during the day, temps will be in the -30 and -40's with the wind chill. Cozy.
During dog chores, Mark put the final touches on snow control around camp, smoothing and packing down eveything possible. We mounded snow around all the dog houses, to help insulate them. The dogs seem to be loving the snow. Imagine that. Rob and Mark just left on the snowmobiles to break trail. With all the snow and wind, there could be a few sizable drifts. Mary will head back into town this afternoon, and set up shop there for the week. We won't see her until Friday night. Just in time for trivia :) There a few tiny flurries in the air, and a small possiblity we might get some more snow tonight. Until tomorrow.....

Hi,
Just a note to let you guys know that you may see me on the trails around our cabin at 1911 Camp 20 Rd. I run a small team of rescued Siberian Huskys and may not always be on the right side of the trail. If we do meet I'll do my best to get my team out of your way so there are no tangles. We use Powers Lake Rd, Camp 20 Rd, Moose Loop, Tom Lake Rd, etc (pretty much the same ones you do). We've been training on Camp 20 south of No Name Hill and have only been to the cabin once or twice. Now that we can use the sled you're more likely to see us since we'll be increasing our mileage.
Take care and have fun (oh yeah, Hang On)
jOops,
Forgot to say who we are. We're Jerry and Kay Sivets and we have nine (9) Sibes we've rescued over the years from different bad situations. We still have six (6) young and enthusiastic enough to run as a team. The other three (3) are either too old (2) or not interested (1).
Take care.
Jerry and Kay Sivets
