Well, the frigid weather continues: It was 11 degrees below zero when we visited the house. After pictures and watching the antelope, it was -14 degrees in the south part of town.
Luckily, when we went inside the house, it was warm and nice! A diesel heater in the garage and a huge electric heater inside the kitchen area. The house is really looking like a house now – it has separate rooms!
One Guest Bedroom
It is amazing how many supplies are needed to turn a frame into a home! We can actually begin to feel the flow of the house – even better than we imagined it would turn out!

We will get to look out through these great doors when we eat!

In both of these pictures, the snow is blinding, making views inside the house (including the finished walls) darker than normal!
We get to see our neighbors out our front windows!
The Front Windows/Living Room
Plans, plans…. Always Willy has plans for his workshop area in the garage!
The almost-Finished Garage!
The installed Dryer Box I mentioned earlier.
The Laundry Room
The Computer Network Hubs are ready to get filled with wires!
The Hub Area is Ready for Action
And… as usual, I am a sucker for light! We even have a window above our front door! Yay!
Window Above Front Door
As we left to get into the warmth of our truck, we heard kids laughing and yelling! It just seems kids, snow, sleds and hills exist in a joyous connection and no below zero temps could possibly keep them apart!
Snow, Sleds and Kids
Beauty exists no matter what temperature! Willy snapped this pic of the new crescent moon. The trees are iced with snow (literally).
The roads are still covered in “Snirt” (Snow + Dirt). It is so cool – I get to learn new tech-y words for important weather road condition aspects of winter here! LOL!

I diligently check with Accuweather about what I should look forward to weather-wise. It is hard for me to get my head around -24 degrees for a nighttime temperature, but I decided to take a picture of what our truck recorded.
Unbelievable Temperature at 7am
Yesterday, a secretary at a doctor’s office drove over from Cody, WY that morning. On the way over the Big Horn Mountains their car read -36 degrees below zero! Even Anchorage. AK was 33 degrees above zero, while we were -20 degrees at 7 am. WOW!
