Every winter, the town’s maintenance crew prepares weeks in advance for the first major snowfall. They inspect the plows, refill salt spreaders, and check the emergency communication systems. Last year, a storm caught them off guard, so this year they want to stay ahead of everything. They even created a schedule to make sure every street is cleared before sunrise. Although the work is exhausting, the crew knows it keeps people safe.

During the coldest months, the Arctic fox relies on its incredible hearing to survive. It listens for tiny sounds under the snow like the rustling of mice then leaps high into the air and dives nose-first to catch its prey. Because food becomes harder to find in winter, the fox must travel farther each day. Sometimes it follows polar bears to scavenge leftovers. Its instincts and adaptations make it one of the toughest animals in the Arctic.
