I’m really surprised that spring has not yet sprung here in Fairbanks. With the 5 days of beautiful and warm weather we had a couple weeks ago, this 20°F we’ve had lately, and the 14″ of snow, really brings you down. Last night it snowed at least 5″.
And another thing, because the air is so dry, I had the nose bleed from hell last week. Twice a day for two days, then after a sneeze, a 16 hour bleed out. At 4AM I was still thinking about heading for the emergency room, even without insurance. But I finally fell asleep and at noon when I awoke, the bleeding had stopped for the moment. Then all was well for the rest of the day. The next day was fine and the day after I had an appointment with an ENT doctor…just a coincidence by the way…and he used a scope to check everything out. It all looked OK to him so it MUST have been the dry air. But the longer I stay here, the stronger those blood vessels will become. I hope.
I am looking forward to the temps to get up to the 40’s where they belong for this time of year. But we’ll see how long this cold snap lasts. I want to go to Chena Hot Springs before it gets to warm though. The best time to go hang out in their soaking pool is when it’s around 20°F.
But snow is way better then rain…
