March 25, 2007
Believe it or not, winter does exist and it lasts longer then 10 days! It is March 24th and there are several feet of snow. The temperature tonight is supposed to be -25F!!! I have never been in weather that cold and the -18F last night gave my cheeks a nice red chill so tonight will be another new adventure. Fairbanks and the PolarTREC orientation have been an excellent introduction to this amazing adventure that I am going to be telling you about for the next several months.

Just to give you an idea of the extreme changes in March, I left Houston on the 21st when it was 85F and arrived in Fairbanks when it was -10F. A 95 degree temperature change in 7 hours. Below is the coastal area of Galveston the night I found out that I would be getting to go on an a dream of an expedition and with a team of Aggie in Geo-Science from Texas A&M nevertheless.
