Day 2: 6:34 AM

Day 2 and I'm already sleeping in?  God, I'm weak!

Good morning from Kwigillingok, AK.

While traveling here, I happily accepted the opportunity to sleep at a friend's house rather than the school's library.  Fortunately for me, I also told these friends about the morning person project, which is why my sleeping in stopped at 6:34 with a timid knock on the door.

"Vicki?  Don't you need to wake up now?"

Accountability

Day 2:
  • Tried to read the news.  Was depressed.
  • Read the weather forecast.  Became more depressed.
  • Settled for a cup of coffee and some good conversation with friends.

TIMING...SNOW WILL BEGIN TO FALL THIS AFTERNOON AND QUICKLY BECOME
BLIZZARD CONDITIONS. WINDS WILL BEGIN TO DIMINISH AND SHIFT TO
THE NORTHWEST WEDNESDAY MORNING AS CONDITIONS IMPROVE.

IMPACTS...SNOWFALL COMBINED WITH STRONG WINDS AND BLOWING SNOW 
WILL PRODUCE WHITE-OUT CONDITIONS. TRAVEL WILL BE DANGEROUS. 

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A BLIZZARD WARNING MEANS SEVERE WINTER WEATHER CONDITIONS ARE
EXPECTED OR OCCURRING. FALLING AND BLOWING SNOW WITH STRONG WINDS
AND POOR VISIBILITIES ARE LIKELY. THIS WILL LEAD TO WHITE-OUT
CONDITIONS...MAKING TRAVEL EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. ALL TRAVEL AND
OUTDOOR ACTIVITY IS STRONGLY DISCOURAGED.



It's quite possible that I could get stuck here in Kwig with this weather.
