I've been trying to find a good used ctl around here and you're right I think I'd have to sell an airplane to buy one.

Yep, my buddy who helped me build my hangar left his here for a month with a bucket, box blade, auger and a set of forks. It was real handy and I thought I needed one until I priced one.
Oh yea, 81 degrees here today but the wind shall blow as it does on these warm blasts we get this time of year.

Minus 38 (C) here this morning. Sun is shining brightly and no wind. Could be worse!

This morning woke up to -6 here in north central MN. I was gone for nearly two months and returned a couple of weeks ago. About all I have been doing since returning home is plow snow. Gotten 2-3 feet since I got back. 8-10 inches two days ago with 35 kt winds. It's nearly 4' deep across my landing strip, guess no flying for awhile.

That is just too cool! The dogs grow big in your neighborhood. Hey mister will you pat my nose?

Like many wildlife species, they can be very friendly, especially if acclimated to people--right up till they kick the **** out of you. As winter progresses, they get grumpier, just like us.
And, in spring, when Mom has calves.....watch out. I spent three hours one spring morning on top of the Trans Alaska Pipeline, with a cow and calves nearby. That one was close.

This is an unusual year for the poor moose. The snow is very deep and hard from previous weather events. Our property and house have been inundated with moose for the entire winter. There are too many to run off and no real place for them to go. No pets here, but just plenty of them hanging around.
I have talked to a former Fish and Game tech about the issue and he said that this is area wide in that the moose are in the subdivisions this winter.
That photo was an unexpected event. Sure it's not abnormal to have a moose cut us off from getting in the house or the horse barn but this little bulls attitude was a surprise.
Currently there is Cow/Calf combo bedded in the front yard, two cows outside the horse pasture and little bull somewhere about. It is a balancing act around here as far as the safety goes but life does go on and we are not going to hide in the house all winter.
A previous shot of the morning seen trying to plug in my truck preheat.
This mornings delayed walk to the barn.
I'm glad to see them survive the winter.

Yep, that calf in the last photo was stuck in a drift a couple of days ago. It was hard to watch. It finally got free. I have even changed the way I plow the driveway so as to not cause them to flee. I have also plowed some access routes along the drive so they don't get post holed crossing the berms.

Best Easter wishes to all for warm WX. It will be like this here until near the end of April.

When its springtime in Alaska its 40 below, well 30 below anyway.
A very cold pattern over Northern Alaska will persist through next
weekend with periods of light snow. Expect surface temperatures
to remain 20F colder than normal under clouds in the Eastern
Interior and Eastern North Slope, while the the clear areas of the
Western Interior and West Coast will be near record cold with
highs near zero and lows in the 20s and 30s below through Mon.

Happy Easter everyone. 60 degrees in northern MN but 24" snowpack. Really an odd April. First runup for spring hope to be airborne in 2 weeks.

Not far from Eric. I think the wife said she saw 65 degrees but wasn't sure. Last I had looked it was 58. I walked out and measured my strip today. Nearly 3' in some places but most is a bit over 2' of either hard packed or soft/slushy crap. When I shoved the stick through the snow to measure, there is 2-4" of solid ice under the snow. With this warm weather and bit of wind it's definitely going to be gone soon.
