A Heat Wave In Tiksi, Russia

I keep Tiksi on my favorites since the weather there can always blow this way (and frequently does.).

This has to be a mistake.  Tiksi temps on Accuweather, as I type, is -45 degrees. However--the extended Tiksi forecast has that place warming up from the high -20s were it's been all month to the low minus teens.  This qualifies as a true heatwave for Tiksi this time of year and gives us some hope that maybe winter is over.

The horses today--#17 and his abscess--it either resolved itself or he never had one.  Might have been a piece of gravel that was causing problems although I thought the limp was much more severe. At any rate, he's without a limp today and never flinched through his shoeing. Hopefully back in business tomorrow.  #148 is healed to day as well as can be expected.  He can be ridden, though we'll avoid running him for another week.
