We are 70 degrees north of the equator, about 800 miles from the North Pole. Sunrise is at 8:30 am. Sunset is at 3:30 pm. High today is 29, low is 27. Winter is Coming.
Last year thus time was still fall; warmer by 10 degrees and no snow. We haven’t seen the sun in over a week; after 3-4 days a depression starts to set in without full spectrum light. I’m starting to feel as if I’m stuck in a George R R Martin novel; there’s gotta be an ice wall out here somewhere.
Weather forecast for tonight is the same as last night and the 3 nights before: Kp index of 6 or 7, north of the arctic circle, cloud cover 100%. We’re still going to head out and hope for the best.
On the plus side:
-We finished a couple of books each.
-The onboard entertainment has been enjoyable.
-Food and staff have been good as always.
-I have pictures of snow on the deck of a cruise ship.
-There is always Alaska.
Glad you decided to continue the blog. I really enjoy reading about your trips. Good thoughts for clear skies.
