Not sure how the storm is progressing today but from the looks of NOME its still extremely windy with some snow.
JESSICA KLEJKA made it to NOME last night but we couldn't see anything on the camera as the snow was on the lens and they couldn't clean it off fast enough.
Don't think I told you all this:
ROBERT BUNDTZEN scratched in ELIM. He had to receive outside assistance from 3 snowmachines. They brought him back to ELIM and they are all ok.
JASON CAMPEAU scratched in ELIM as well.
THEN THERE WERE 37 left
ALIY ZIRKLE into NOME but again couldn't do much with pictures due to the conditions. She said her memorable moments were: ONE FOR SURE!! CAPE NOME. She said the wind was so intense that she was glad the dogs could find markers. She also thought the kids in SHAKLOOLIK were a highlight. They were so enthusiastic, home made signs and it was a fun place to be.
RIGHT NOW at 12:30 PM EST 8AM Alaska time there are 14 teams that need to get to NOME.
11 of them are in ELIM (looks like they are waiting out the storm). Then they have to go on to
WHITE MOUNTAIN and take a mandatory 8 hour rest so don't know when they will ever get to NOME. AARON BURMEISTER feeding his dog after getting into NOME
