Upcoming Iditarod
The Iditarod starts tomorrow, the nearly 1,150-mile trek across southern Alaska for sled dogs and mushers. I’ll be posting occasional info about the race and the weather in Alaska over the next week. To begin with, here’s a map of the race and the National Weather Service forecast for this weekend’s weather in Anchorage, where the race starts at 10 am local time tomorrow.

Saturday Night…Partly cloudy. Lows 5 to 15 above except 5 below to 5 above east anchorage. Light winds.
