Another Cold, Cold, Cold Morning

56 below zero at Beaver, Fort Yukon and Chandalar Lake was the coldest in Alaska this morning. However, within the last 24 hours it has been as low as -60 at Chandalar Lake.

Of more interest, and almost as unusual was these high temperatures Friday:

51 in Green Bay
62 in Wichita
60 in Lincoln
58 in Des Moines and Sioux Falls

And one bit of great news:

Almost an inch (0.91) of rain in the last 24 hours at DFW (Dallas-Fort Worth) Airport. That sould bring a lot of relief to people fightning grass fires.

Please don't ask me why I am so fascinated by the severe arctic cold because I don't have the frostiest notion...

Hey J.B.,

I would like to see what you wrote about the other day when temps get to -60F and the vapor turns into "ice dust". There is something very fascinating about those cold temps because it's a completely different world when it's that cold. Everything is different.

By the way, the Wasatch Front benches are expecting 5-10"+ this afternoon and tonight, on top of the 6" we received yesterday. If it actually happens, I'll send you a couple of snapshots.

Matt

Thanks, Matt...would love the see the pictures.

Talked to our folks in Layton yesterday and they are threatening to bail out for a vacation in Hawaii.

It's been snowing moderate to heavy for a couple of hours now.

Hawaii would be nice. I would love to visit some of the less populated islands, especially.

I read about that bbq y'all had today. I'm jealous. :-) That's one thing I really miss about Alabama...the barbeque!

Hey,
I hope we get some snow like the above mentions. That would be awsome. Atleast it would kill off the bugs. We need some cold air so we won't suffer with all of the bugs this spring and summer.
