Alaska and Canada are in a deep freeze. It is just a matter of time all that cold air up there spills into the U.S.

Fairbanks just had their 6th coldest November on record, so we'll see if the streak can

last through the rest of December.

OVERALL...AT THE FAIRBANKS INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT THE AVERAGE HIGH

TEMPERATURE IN NOVEMBER WAS 0.4 DEGREES ABOVE ZERO AND THE AVERAGE

LOW WAS 17.9 DEGREES BELOW ZERO. THE AVERAGE FOR THE MONTH OF 8.7

DEGREES BELOW ZERO WAS 11.3 DEGREES COLDER THAN NORMAL AND MADE THIS

THE 6TH COLDEST NOVEMBER IN MORE THAN A CENTURY OF WEATHER

OBSERVATIONS. THE HIGHEST TEMPERATURE FOR THE MONTH AT THE AIRPORT

WAS 22 DEGREES ON THE 10TH...WHILE THE LOWEST WAS 31 BELOW ZERO ON

THE 30TH. THE TEMPERATURE DIPPED INTO 40S BELOW IN A FEW OF THE

NORMALLY COLDER LOW LYING AREAS DURING THE LAST TWO DAYS OF THE

MONTH. IN CONTRAST...TEMPERATURES AT SOME HIGHER ELEVATIONS DID

NOT DROP COLDER THAN 10 BELOW ANYTIME DURING NOVEMBER.

Alaska was super cold and snowy last winter and look how we did!! Though historically its a great sign we live in a new normal. I guess we will have to see...

It will be interesting to see if the December historical relationship bears any reality to what happens

this winter. Last winter Fairbanks was mild in December finishing at +8.1. The cold arrived later

in the month and January finished at -19. So we'll see if the cold can linger there this month

and try to come south in enough strength for below normal January or February temperatures

here.

Cool, I did not realize they had a warm December last year I figured the whole winter was insanely old. I guess that's some more good news!

Wonder when it will spill down here? Think it might take until mid to late January but that's OK by me.

If at all.

Did not happen in 1988-9.
