On the last day of 2012 we took advantage of the warm weather and went out for a walk at the end our road. Warm, meaning 35 degrees above zero, but more importantly no wind. Since Christmas and until about three days ago (Jan. 6th), the temperature has been at or above freezing in Healy (43 for a high)....way too warm for this time of year! Now everything is super icy! But, we wanted to see how the trails were at the end of the road and to see if anybody else was out and about.
From where we are the sun still has not peeked over the Healy Ridge yet. We are predicting we should see direct sunlight on our property again around January 10th.
With so many days above freezing we have lost quite a bit of our snow.
We saw half a dozen ptarmigan while out. I love their white winter plumage.
Happy hikers! This is Andrew's "is it working?" face.
