What to know about schools in the winter By Weston Morrow WMORROW @NEWSMINER.COM
The last few winters in Fairbanks haven’ t seen record-low temperatures or too many weeklong 40-below stretches, but they’ve caused more than their share of weatherrelated hardship for schools in the Fairbanks North Star Borough. Despite rarely canceling school in the past, the school district has canceled school on multiple occasions each of the last two years. This school year, the district made another rare move, canceling school because of roughly 6 inches of snow while it was still September. The move came

about as the result of concerns over road conditions and bus routes in the hills outside of town. Though the September cancellation only lasted one day, the winter weather continued to affect the routines of parents and students when school resumed. Because of the weather and concerns
about roads in the hills, school administrators elected to change bus dropoff and pick-up locations to alternate routes. As a parent, knowing your student’s bus number and any possible alternate locations is important during the winter. SCHOOLS » 11

Plenty of winter vehicle accessories available By Jeff Richardson JRICHARDSON @NEWSMINER.COM

Right: Extension cords fill almost every plug in the lower Commons parking lot at the University of Alaska Fairbanks on Jan. 26, 2006. ERIC ENGMAN/NEWS-MINER FILE PHOTOS range from simple fob-operated devices to ones that can be timed or started by smartphones. “It’s the primary thing on everybody’s list,” he said. Online merchants offer a bounty of possibilities, some of which are more practical than others. They include windshield covers, plush steering wheel covers, and all-season floor and trunk mats. There are some winter driving accessories that don’t make the cut among local installers. Some vehi-
cle owners like interior heaters that keep their car warm when it’s plugged in, but Auto Trim Design owner Bob Boswood said those are a fire hazard that they won’t install. He said other additions, such as heated windshield wipers and cleaning fluid, were tested and weren’t effective in Interior conditions. “If it won’ t make it through 40 below, we won’t use it,” he said. Boswood agreed that auto starts are a popular item for
local drivers, along with a variety of light packages. He said fog lights, which can be used in traffic, offer better visibility in fog or blowing snow. High-power moose lights are for off-road and solitary driving, allowing motorists to better spot animals or other hazards. “You can see way down the road and way off to the side for anything that might be coming your way,” he said. Boswood also touted an item called Shur Trax that’s essentially a water-filled
bladder that fits in the back of a pickup. It provides an evenly distributed weight source throughout the winter, providing more traction on icy or snowy patches for the back end of trucks.

Considering it’s cold and dark in the Interior for half the year, it shouldn’t be a surprise Fairbanksans are big fans of winter vehicle accessories. Everybody knows about snow tires and engine block heaters, but there are plenty of other options that can keep drivers safe and comfortable during the winter. From moose lights to heated seats, winter add-ons have become commonplace in vehicles in the region. Dwane McKee, the parts manager at Seekins Ford Lincoln, agrees there’s been a boom in available accessories in the past decade. McKee said he sees vehicle buyers frequently getting specialty items such as heated steering wheels or seats, which take the edge off the cold after being parked outside during a frigid day. “With the computers getting better, the consumer electronics can do a lot more now,” he said. McKee said the most common accessory for winter driving is an auto start, which allows people to remotely start their vehicles and let them warm up before they’re driven. They

Cold weather tips for taking care of furry friends Alex Sargent, 17, leads her fourmonth-old yellow lab puppy Cody through the brush and snow as he hangs from her glove on Nov. 4, 2004.

As every Interior Alaskan knows, the coming of winter means below-zero weather is only a matter of time. While humans have the ability to control their environment, our four- and twolegged companions don’t have that luxury. In the interest of keeping our pets healthy and happy, here are some winter animal care tips from Fairbanks veterinarian Hayden Nevill.
Some dogs fare well in the cold while others do not, so the bottom line is to know your dog and to use common sense.

“If a dog has a very thick coat and is comfortable outside — it’s active, not shivering, and not hiding in its house trying to stay warm — then they may
be more comfortable outside,” Nevill said. “Some thick coated dogs get too hot if they’re brought in the house.” The key is to provide the

warmer,” Nevill said. Small dogs, dogs with short coats, dogs that are used to being inside, and very young or elderly dogs are “best kept indoors during the winter,” Nevill said. Elderly dogs especially should be monitored and not just let outside on their own, as they tend to wander away, get cold and then curl up in an effort to get warm. The results can be fatal. Dogs should be given plenty of access to warm, fresh water and heated water dishes are available in local stores or online. Unless your dog is a sled dog and used to living outdoors, it should never be chained up outside, Nevill said.

styrofoam but it’s important to cover the foam so the dog can’t chew on it, as this can cause serious health problems. Nevill said it’s important to make sure your dog will actually go in its dog house. Some dogs are afraid of the unfamiliar and will refuse to enter the house, instead sleeping on the cold ground and compromising their health and safety. Take the time to acclimate your dog to its house and make it a place it wants to be. Don’t just throw your dog outside and ignore it, Nevill said. “The important thing is to watch the dog. If the dog is losing weight or is spending a lot of time curled up in a ball, then that dog needs something to make it

Fairbanksans’ best tips for surviving winter W
e went to our Facebook page to ask our readers this question: “What’s the best tip you’ve given or received for surviving a Fairbanks winter?” Here are some of the responses: “This will be my second winter here. One of the best pieces of advice I got when I first got here was never stop in the middle of an intersection even when waiting to turn left. You will get hit if drivers coming from the other direction don’t stop in time and skid into the intersection. Also if you skid off of the road into a snow bank, be sure to check your tail pipe for snow when you
get pulled out. Last one ... a warm hat and thermal insoles will make your whole body feel warmer by not letting the heat escape.”

“I have learned one of the best ways to survive the Fairbanks winter is to drive a little slower and leave a litter earlier so you can drive safe. And most of all you have to have a hobby or sport or something you can do so you don’t get depressed without too much sunlight. I have a happy light.” Lana Schneidewind
“When we were planning our move to Fairbanks, a friend told us to look for
a home in the hills. Best advice ever. Generally 15 to 20 degrees warmer than town.” Janice Durfee
“Learn to ski and you will wish for winter even when it’s summer.” Christine Nutter Huff

Cure cabin fever with kid-friendly experiments Rambunctious children can make surviving winter difficult for kids and adults alike. When cabin fever strikes, it’s good to have some backup activities to give everyone a breath of fresh air. So staff at the University of Alaska Fairbanks’ Museum of the North provided some fun experiments to try with your children, all with very minimal equipment, most notably a meat or candy thermometer. Explore the insulating properties of snow and fat Jennifer Arseneau recommends exploring the difference in temperature between the air and snow, and the insulating properties of blubber. For the first experiment simply use a thermometer to measure
the temperature of the air, and then measure the temperature under the snow, which is scientifically termed “subnivean.” Snow traps lots of air, and makes it an excellent insulator. New snow is often 90 to 95 percent trapped air, according to the National Snow and Ice Data Center. “That’s why the subnivean is a great environment for many active winter animals, like voles,” Arseneau wrote in an email. If you want to play messy, pull out the shortening. Fat, or blubber, also makes a spectacular insulator. Put a disposable glove on your kid and coat their hand with shortening, then add a second larger glove to contain the mess. Dip both the bare and blubbered hand into ice water, “You will quickly feel the difference having a layer of blubber can make!” Arseneau wrote. Another experiment in the spec-

trum of losing heat is to compare the thermal mass of two different sized “animals.” Get two jars of different sizes, one small one large.
Fill each jar, according to size, with hot water, and monitor the temperature with a thermometer. Before starting, ask your chil-

PET CARE Continued from 5
Cats
“I’m a fan of keeping cats inside because it’s so much safer for them,” Nevill said. “Especially in the winter, when they can get frostbitten footpads.” While some people let their cat outside so that it can run, jump and do other cat activities, a few simple things can go a long way to keeping your cat happy indoors. “One thing that helps is to have a lot of vertical space for your cat. Some people put carpet remnants on shelves or stairs for their cat to lay on. Also, even five minutes of exercise with a laser pointer or toy is enough to keep them happy inside,” Nevill said.
Birds and exotic pets “One of the things that ’s important with birds, reptiles and amphibians is that they stay warm. If your power goes out,
you either need a generator or you need to get them quickly to a warm place,” Nevill said. You can safely transpor t cold-blooded creatures in cold weather by placing them in an ice chest with a hot water bottle secured inside, Nevill said. Air holes are not needed for short trips because these animals breath less frequently than humans or other animals. Healthy birds can tolerate more changes in temperature, according to Nevill, but it’s important to have a carbon monoxide monitor in your home because birds are especially susceptible to air quality.

Chickens and other poultry Most fowl can survive Fairbanks winters quite well if kept in an insulated house with a heat lamp to warm them. Use a heated base to keep their water from freezing.
In general It’s important to keep your pets
away from things like antifreeze and other fluids that may leak from your vehicle, Nevill said. Antifreeze — which can be fatal if ingested — is sweet and dogs will seek it out and eat it. Cats don’t like the taste as much as dogs, but can be poi-
soned by walking through it and then licking their paws. “If you think that a dog or cat has gotten into antifreeze, call the vet — don’t wait for symptoms to appear. It’s very treatable if we catch it right away,” Nevill said.
Last but not least, remember that your pets are part of your family, and rely on you to keep them safe and warm. Don’t let them down. Contact staff writer Dorothy Chomicz at 459-7582. Follow her on Twitter: @FDNMcrime.

Salted snow The affect salt has on the freezing temperature of water can be examined multiple ways. Put snow in a bag, take the temperature and feel with a bare hand. Then add a few tablespoons of salt. Salt lowers the freezing temperature of water. Keep an eye on the thermometer because the snow “will get very cold!” Gabrielle Vance, museum staff, wrote.

Parents who have questions about their students’ bus route can contact the school district’s transportation department at 452-3567. These alternate drop-offs usually had buses stopping at the bottom of hills, in some cases more than a mile from their usual bus stops. These alternate routes drew

Insert the smaller bag with ingredients into a gallon-sized bag. Inside the larger bag put 2 tablespoons rock salt and enough ice cubes to almost fill the container. Seal shut and shake, about 20 minutes, until the inner mixture is frozen. Snow vs. water Measuring the water content of snow is a fun and visual experiment. Gently scoop snow into a bucket or leave one out during a snow storm — don’t pack the snow down. Measure and record the snow depth. Then, bring the bucket indoors, let the snow melt and again measure the contents. In many cases you’ll need 20 inches of snow to produce one inch of water.

One parent said her son waited for more than an hour on his bus since no one called her to say she needed to try to leave work and pick him up from a new location.

pens when the temperature falls lower than 20 below. However, students are still allowed and encouraged to participate in outdoor recess up to this point. So it’s important students come to school dressed properly for the weather. The district stresses the importance of proper winter gear, including a warm jacket, snow pants, gloves and a hat or beanie. Even if students don’t want to go outside for recess, they should have a jacket for times they’re awaiting the bus or in case they need to go outside with their class for some reason.
