The guests got a front row seat, watching a mama and her baby yesterday. They hung around the house for a while and walked around and laid down.

My property in the hills above Fairbanks is much warmer than places in town and you can just step outside the door to view the aurora.

We’re having our first big cold snap of the winter this week in Fairbanks! With temps hovering around -25°F during the day, and reaching lows of -40°F or more each night!🌬️

Please be prepared with the necessary gear when chasing the northern lights or sightseeing in remote places this week!
