Ice on the Kuskokwim

Temperatures have been dropping so we stopped by the river to see if any ice had formed. It hasn't frozen completely, but it will very soon. It's gorgeous right now. 

We also saw a bald eagle riding on one of the ice flows! Unfortunately we only had the phone so our picture isn't very clear. Even though we live only minutes from the river, by the time we returned with a camera, the eagle was gone. Word got around though; we saw quite a few people pull up to the river bank looking for it.

We've had to scrape ice from the car windows for the past week and had snow on the ground this morning. It warmed up a bit so the snow melted and we have major fog right now.

Marshall and I getting our first taste of travel being affected by the weather; he was supposed to fly out a few hours ago and has been delayed multiples times. The morning flight was canceled and we aren't sure about his flight yet. At least he had a long layover in Anchorage; his flight out of Anchorage isn't scheduled until almost midnight, so he might still make it. Apparently this is par for the course on flying in and out of Bethel.
