What November feels like

November brings the snow that will stay until spring, and the park road becomes a ski and dog-mushing route rather than a road. Aurora season is well underway, and the sky out here is dark in a way that's hard to describe to anyone from a city.

Winter is doing its thing: 12.9 in of snow in a typical November, with fresh snow on about 11 days. Nearly every night dips below freezing.
