1.To be cold: To be cold is when you start to shiver and your ears start to freeze. The wind starts to pick up and you want to go inside and never come out again. When the wind gets too bad, it makes your face sting VERY BADLY!!

2. Health and Safety Concerns for Mushers and Dogs:

Dogs: -ice in paws -high winds -visabilty -breaking of ice Mushers: -high winds -frozen mittens -breaking of ice -visablity

3. Frozen Revolting Oh no Shivering Terrible Bitterly cold Icy Time Evil The coldest temperature I have been in is –45 degree’s I was in mount baker in the middle of a blizzard were I couldn’t see 2 feet in front of me. It looked like just a white blanket of nothing. It was so cold I almost got frostbite. It was so cold I had goose bumps on my arms and shivers on my spine and I couldn’t feel my toes and fingers. By Torres99 We went too Alberta Canada last weekend. Mostly every time my breathing was constricted from the cold temperatures also the lowest temperature was -35 degrees I got a little hypothermia in the Canadian mountains I don’t know which mountain range it is. By Commander Gree The coldest I have been in is –50 degree’s. It feels like someone is breathing down your neck. By Torres9, Phoneybone and Commander Gree. Weather in Alaska. At the end of the race in Nome the temperature is 4 degrees and with the wind chill it is 21 degrees below 0 and the visibility is 1 mile. And with a lot of blizzards on the way there are going to be ice slicks and traitorous. Also the conditions will be at freezing cold temperatures risking open skin would be a very bad mistake. The dogs have to be bundled up tight to keep from getting cold but still be able to run fast enough to stay in the race. The Highs in Nome Alaska today are 10 to 15 degrees today with a wind from the south and the wind is 25 to 35 mph. It is mostly cold throughout the year but in summer it is amazing especially all of the wildlife. Also the safety concerns for the dogs and mushers are… Mushers: Frostbite Hypothermia Broken bones Lost in the middle of no where Bear attack Wolf attack No food Dehydration Dogs: Frostbite Broken bones Bear attack Starvation Dehydration Work themselves to death Frozen Revolting Over sized So cold Too crazy Bad Infinitely gross Totally disgusting Eternally sad  Doug Swingley in had frost bite in his eyes so he couldn’t compete in the 2004 Iditarod. He was half blind and couldn’t see so he couldn’t compete because he might fall of a cliff or something. Also he was worrying for the safety of his dogs. I don’t know if he had any more frost bite but I know that Doug Swingley was a great dog musher.
