Day 15, 1/15/2011

Alaska is so vast and has such varied terrain and high mountains that the different regions create their own weather systems. The Interior is sometimes referred to as an “arctic desert” because of the arid climate here. When the heaters and wood stoves are working all day and night, it just adds to the dryness in the air.

Though we keep a humidifier going all the time at our house, I get electrocuted several times a day just touching things. My skin is very dry all winter, but my hands suffer the most. Time to reapply the hand salve!
