Snow- fall and raising temperature afternoon day two Amundsen race

When the rest was over for Håkan and the dogs it  had started to snow and the temperature had risen - not the conditions that makes it easier for a tired team.
 At 15:16, they left CP2 Storåbranna 1 after the mandatory six-hour rest period for the next leg of 71km. Delta and Geist were so tired that Håkan let them finish their journey at Storåbranna and instead be well cared for by John and Jamie. The other dogs were in good spirits and relatively keen to go on.
Now they strive on until Storåbranna 2 where they have another 4 hour mandatory rest before the final leg to the finish, the shortest leg - 60km.
Keeps my fingers crossed that the seven brave dogs that are left in the team will hold out until the finish and that the weather is on their side.
