5 days to the Iditarod start in Anchorage

February 23, 2014

If you go to the web site for the Iditarod (www.Iditarod.com) click on the first entry - 2014 Iditarod
You will find info like 5 days 16 hours and 45 minutes until the start of the Iditarod.
Also you can find out about the Teacher on the Trail. Every year a teacher is selected to follow the race and report to the schools.
I like the site for the weather conditions at the check points. Today it was warmer than it's going to be in NYC tomorrow. 29 degrees in Anchorage--35 degrees one stop before Nome (White Mountain) and 29 in Nome. Few days ago it was in the 30's at all the sites.
Then google Nome Webcam and see a picture of the Main St. in Nome at the Visitors Center--background the Bering Sea. Two days ago it was snow free there but I do see snow on the ground today. Also states Nome sunrise and sunset---today sunrise at 9:30AM and sunset at 7PM.
Then you can google Aurora forecast in Fairbanks. Go to the Institute at Fairbanks--first entry--and see the aurora activity on a scale from 1-9  l being the lest activity. Today it was only 2 for activity appearing in the area of Fairbanks and Barrow.
Just something FYI that you may find interesting.
