Today's weather trivia: 19 February 2007: Temperatures on the Yukon Quest
route ranged from -40°C to -55°C. Teams' frosty breath made it hard to see
lead dogs. Mushers feared for fingers, toes, and dogs' privates. Some dogs
wore heavy jackets and belly protectors but urine freezes to protectors and
the ice touched their penises as they ran. Dogs never got warm even while
bedded down, had to eat more often, and dehydrated easily.
