Dear Miss Welch This is Sasha from 2B. If it is so cold outside, why bother using the refridgerator?! And, do you think you will see any puffins? Is it stuffy in your mustang suit? Love Sasha

Sasha- I did see some puffins but they were south of where we are now. It is -13 F outside. Food would be cold and frozen if left outside. Today the winds are quite strong so I would be concerned that the food might blow away. Even my hard hat came off two times in the wind. What about hungry birds? The refrigerator keeps the food safe from hungry predators.
The Mustang Suits are perfect for cold weather as they are warm. I still wear several layers under the suit to keep warm. The MST 900 dry suit is stuffy as it is almost airtight on my body. When I am out on the ice, I like the dry suit as it keeps my body warm.
