The temperature has been hovering at a remarkably consistent -14 for about 24 hours now, with an equally consistent windchill factor of -36. The windchill factor is often a number that is regarded with much suspicion back in the States. I believe that is due to the pernicious influence of television weathermen, who pump it up for no good reason most of the time. Out here, especially when it is in this range, it describes the speed at which your skin will freeze, resulting in frostbite. At -36, it is much quicker.
We are in the second of two professional development days. This one will be over at noon, because we went last night until 6:30. We get breakfast in the bargain, so it seems resonable to me in the balance. We are going to discuss peer coaching, which sounds like a reasonable concept.
After that, it will be time for the first snow-go run to Bethel, which will likely be chilly at these temps. There is a blizzard watch for later tonight, so it probably would behoove those of us that are going to get it done...
