Jean in Fairbanks, Alaska Jean - we feel your pain...no snow down here in northeastern Minnesota either. It is also hurting our economy for the same reasons as your lack of snow. Septic systems are in peril, can't ride because of the icy conditions, no snowmobiling, no mushing.. Denver in its second big blast of white stuffUtah doing the same...and we sit her looking at brown paddocks..ugh! Cabin fever is setting in... But Hey, Happy New Year everyone Mary O.

Re: snow....or lack thereof
This message is from: Philis B. Anderson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hey, Mary, Wrong! i.e. no snow down here in northeastern Minnesota either. The conditions over here (about five miles from you.) are good for sleighing!! I took my team out the other day and went on a moonlight sleigh ride through our woods. Yesterday my four-year old granddaughter and I went on a single horse sleigh ride trotting and cantering through our trails in the forest. laughing all the way. We have just enough snow that the going is good. Mary lives on the slope facing Lake Superior where there is less snow right now. Just two years ago there was SO much snow here that I wasn't able to go on even one sleigh ride. What a difference! For January in northeast Minnesota, the lack of snow and the warm temps are very unusual! The horses are shedding and our 21 year old goose thinks it's spring and is nesting. They all will be in for a shock if the temps drop or we have a blizzard. Philis Anderson The FjordHorse List archives can be found at: http://tinyurl.com/rcepw
