Everything I tried to take came out overly blurry, since it was cold enough to make my camera not want to behave outside. It also drained the batteries. Somehow I doubt my little Fugi was cold weather tested.
I'm going to leave these photos as rather large ones. The colors are stunning, and I can't bring myself to take anything away from them. Joe's new camera takes awesome pictures.

Starting off here is the sun over the valley. You can see the inversion layer hanging over the tree tops and a few mountains in the background on the horizon. This one is a nice reminder that the sun is, indeed, still present for a bit during the day. After a while one tends to forget that fact...

The city in fog. It really isn't that polluted up here but everything looks even worse since even a "cool" temperature will start steaming at thirty below.
Trees in the valley.
This picture is a great example of the inversion layer. The wind isn't blowing- it's so cold anything in the air flattens out and hangs at a certain level. That's how the ice fog forms.
Great shot of the mountains!
More mountains. You can really see for miles in this cold!
Without so much zoom. That sunrise would make an awesome cross stitch pattern!

I all most forgot to add one final photo. Here’s the UAF temperature as of 4:40ish on Monday evening. ***
One of the things I enjoy the most about living up here are all of the colors I can see during the winter. Even in during the dark and days made almost entirely of twilight, there are so many different shades of blue, purple, pink, yellow, and orange that it is hard to explain. So many people ask me how I can handle living in the dark for so long- I have to tell them it makes me appreciate the different colors found everywhere even more.
