It's 120° colder in Alaska!

Alaska_coldWhile we've been enjoying sunny, mild weather the last few days it has been unusually cold in the northern part of the continent. Temperatures have been -40 to -60 degrees below zero across interior Alaska and western Canada while we've been in the 60s and 70s.

Temperatures will climb a little next week. But I'm expecting another piece of cold air will drop south toward the end of next week, perhaps some of the coldest air of the season for us and for much of the country.

Time to dig out the coats again and stock up on firewood!
