This is harder on the wild animals then us. Once this refreezes, the wolves will run on top, and the game animals will break through. The ice crust will cut their legs with every step. Especially hard on the Sheep and Goats. Lots of starvation.

ALASKA is a "HARD COUNTRY for OLDMEN". (But if you live it wide'ass open, balls'to the wall, the pedal floored, full throttle, it is a delightful place, to finally just sit-back and savor those memories while sipping Tequila).
