My Alaska Life

Although we had a snowstorm yesterday, this is Spring and things are warming up in the daytime getting into the 40’s every day. We have been experimenting with keeping stored food in a root cellar that Jeff dug out a few years ago. It’s in the floor of the cabin. We found that it will keep food from freezing in the winter when it’s bitter cold outside. However, by trail and error we found out that in the Spring when the water table rises the root cellar fills with water and becomes a well instead. That wasn’t something we expected. So we have learned to get everything out before the Spring melt.
