Power Out At -48c

Wow just got home last night and was having a hot tea with Glaza when the power drop off !  At -48c  the whole town is in the dark and cold.  Its a crazy thing !  We have the home ready and what we need to light and heat when this happens.  A lot of places in town don’t ! The Power House Crew are a very special team that are on 24/7, it was down 20 minutes and we where back up and on line !  Bless this crew and keep them safe out there on a -48c super cold Yukon night.

Watson Lake Yukon -48c

This shot is like your going to drive off the face of the earth !  I have been the driver in this cold.  Glaza is on shift work and my job is to get her there and home safe.  At -48c the run from the warm shop back to the warm shop is all you what to do before it slows down and stiffens up big time !  Keeping out of the deep cold is the only way it will move when one needs to roll on it.

The Yukon Cold

The Yukon cold is like no other cold !  The cold will freeze you in minuets.  It is hard to wrap my head around Bob Wilms out there making 30 miles a day with a two team dogsled all their food, supplies and gear for him and the two dogs into a Cassiar country that no man had walked in !  1923
