Again- another weather shot- low pressures- high pressures.... we are affected so much by the weather- it may sound weird- but just hearing the familiar weatherman on the radio or VHF makes me feel so much at home....comforting.

WOW! What breathtaking photos. I'm guessing that caribou must taste similar to reindeer which Laps and Finns eat alot and we had when we went to Finland.

P.S. Had my chart done last time I was in the US, spookily accurate!!
