Happy 2015 from Kotlik.
The weather has been CRAZY here and we have experienced temperatures considerably warmer than those in the Torrington, Wyoming area. We had some temperatures in the low teens and single-digits accompanied by snow, but that changed and we have had above freezing temperatures (33* to 37*) for the past 5 days. The normal temperatures for this time of year are highs around 8* and lows around 0*.
Not a good way to start the new year. I think he should have had pontoons instead of tires on his 4-wheeler.
The tide was very high yesterday afternoon. A person would have had to have taller boots than I have to get through the overflow at this point.
A look at the Yukon river after a few days of temperatures in the high 30's and a whole night of rain. This is not what I expected on December 31st.

Another look at the overflow in front of the house.

| I know this is a Ski Doo, but I don't think this is the advertised use. Just a few days ago he would have been sledding on snow and ice. |

| A guy on his 4-wheeler. I hope he is wearing his rain gear. |
 |
| Level and plumb is very overrated when it comes to construction in Kotlik, Alaska. |

| The school district's sled for transporting things behind the six-wheeler or snow machine. |
