In the background you can see the ice fog being made by the city coal fired power plant down on the Cheenah River, along w/some home heating furnaces. I think we could burn 500 gals of heating oil in 2-3 week period during cold spells.
Thought pic could make some feel better about cold weather we are facing this week, just think you could be in Fairbanks.
The truck did really well in the cold.

Thanks for sharing! Love the pics with family history. I'm such a pansy when it comes to cold weather.
I can't imagine living in those kinda conditions. Definitely puts things into perspective, especially when you think it's cold around here.
