Winter is arriving early, or so it seems

Wow! It's only October 15th and already the Kuskokwim River is beginning to freeze up! We can't believe it! Anyway, I went down to the river this evening and took these pictures for my blog! Our low temperature last night was 8 or 9 degrees and we were having a -10 degree wind chill. Brrrr, it makes me cold just to think about it!


You can see the chunks of ice starting to form.



This is ME in my Halloween Costume - I'm a LION! Roar!



This is me again, just in case you couldn't tell who
it was with my Lion head on!



Here are some really big ice chunks - almost as
big as a small car!



Here I am, again, in full Lion Costume! Roar!
I love my Halloween costume and I'm not
taking it off! (Plus, it's warm!)
