Freeze-up

"When the river freezes up, before the snow comes and we can use the snowmobiles, that's when the airline companies can really take advantage of us."
That's what Yupi'k villagers had to say about freeze-up, that period between fall and winter when transport gets seriously difficult. And freeze-up is coming to us up here in the cabin.
