20 Days of Chill: Winter vacation (Day 4)

January 8, 2019

Tropical islands.

Warm destinations.

Sun and blue water.

Beaches and sunglasses.

That’s what many people think when it comes to winter vacations. That’s why people plan trips to so many warm destinations when snow flies in other areas.

And I would normally agree. But for some reason, I have this fascination with Barrow, Alaska. I am not sure I’d like to be there in the middle of the winter as I once thought would be cool.

But there’s still something about it.

Look at the upcoming forecast (tonight is Monday night):

 

Tonight

Flurries. Areas of freezing fog after 9pm. Partly cloudy, with a low around -22. Wind chill values as low as -40. North wind around 10 mph.

Tuesday

Flurries. Areas of freezing fog before 9am. Partly sunny, with a high near -15. North wind around 10 mph.

Tuesday Night

Flurries. Mostly cloudy, with a low around -24. Wind chill values as low as -45. North wind 5 to 10 mph.

Wednesday

Flurries. Partly sunny, with a high near -15. Wind chill values as low as -40. North wind around 10 mph.

Wednesday Night

Flurries. Mostly cloudy, with a low around -16. North wind around 10 mph.

Thursday

Flurries before 3pm. Mostly cloudy, with a high near -16.

Thursday Night

A 20 percent chance of snow after 3am. Mostly cloudy, with a low around -18.

Friday

A slight chance of snow before 3pm. Mostly cloudy, with a high near -10.

Friday Night

A slight chance of snow after 3am. Mostly cloudy, with a low around -18.

Saturday

A slight chance of snow. Mostly cloudy, with a high near -10.

Saturday Night

A slight chance of snow. Mostly cloudy, with a low around -18.

Sunday

Mostly cloudy, with a high near -10.

Sunday Night

Mostly cloudy, with a low around -18.

Monday

Mostly cloudy, with a high near -10.

 

I mean… not too bad, right?

OK, maybe the Bahamas might be better…

    I am a snow lover so Alaska has always been my dream state but those temps… Yeah… I’m thinking maybe Alaska isn’t the year-round home for me but I would definitely go when it’s snowy just not that cold. 🙂

      I like the snow, too … but add it with the bone-chilling temps and it’s just miserable! Alaska is a bucket list item for me, too… but probably not as the temps in my blog post!

    The Bahamas would definitely be better! I looked up Barrow and they are only a little colder and most parts of NY has way more snow than Barrow. As fickle as the weather is here in NC, I’ll take it!

      Barrow can get way colder than I’ve seen recently when I was doing that blog post. But … I’d probably rather go when the weather is more friendly so as to actually be able to enjoy that area!

    I’m shivering just reading those temperatures! :0 Give me 80 degrees and sunny any day. I suffer through the winter; hands gripped around a steaming hot beverage or wrapped in an electric blanket. Fortunately, our winter has been relatively mild, so far.

      Yes, some of those temps would be tough to handle. But I also don’t like temps too hot — at least if there’s humidity. If I could be somewhere between 40-75 all year, I’d be a happy camper.

You know, of course, Santa Paws travels with Santa Clause, making sure to find treats and toys for all the good little doggies! (We know they are all deserving, right?) So, Harper put out some milk for the big guy, carrots for Rudolph and the reindeer, and special cookies for Santa Paws! She is ready!

I look at her and sometimes still can’t believe I look at her and sometimes still can’t believe I have her. It’s been a year and four months and she makes me smile and laugh more each day. It’s amazing how much a dog changes your look on life, and how much joy they can bring.

This one is recent from the courthouse square in Delhi. We had some pretty good fall colors this year.

I had Harper so not a lot I could do, but I managed to get the cart off the chair. (See second photo) This was in a local park.

A video looking at my first year and a half of owning a golden retriever, my first dog. It's had its ups and downs, but I've truly loved the ride and look forward to the future.

I hate being in front of the camera, but also realize sometimes it's not the worst thing in the world. So, I'm getting better with it. Week 4's theme was all about us and having us in front of the camera, so I tried to come up with a creative way to do it.
