K-300 Extreme Weather Delay ... Jan 21, 2006

LadyBugsays...

Bitter cold weather forced a delay to the start of the Kuskokwim 300 dog race by 2 days. Temperatures Friday in Bethel hovered near the minus 20 range with wind-chill dipping to around minus 60. Those frigid temperatures raise concern about the safety of the dogs, mushers, and volunteers working the long cold hours, but the factor most responsible for putting the start on ice was the grounding of air travel at the Bethel airport making logistics support next to impossible. The start has been re-scheduled for Sunday noon. Sunday's weather calls for a balmy high of minus 10 by midday.
