100 degree turn around!

Remember the Fred Myers sign that Said -49 degrees in an earlier blog. Well the Temperatures in Fairbanks were between -50 and -40 the first two weeks of the year. I retuned to Fairbanks to see and Doctor and saw temperatures rise to 54 degrees F above Zero!!! That is like a 100 degree change in less than 2 weeks. WOW! have you ever seen anything like that. I do that think Fairbanks is used to a mid January Thaw. At this time the mid-west and the Northeast were getting a taste of the Arctic air which had moved out.

Oh and I got to see the Sun while in Fairbanks too! Because of the mountains it will still be a while before it rises above the horizon here.
