ADN: Fairbanks and Anchorage woke Wednesday to the deep-freeze of an expected cold snap this week, as temperatures plunged to 50 degrees below zero in some areas of the Interior.
The coldest temperature recorded by the National Weather Service Wednesday morning was 59 below on the Salcha River near its confluence with Flat Creek, said meteorologist Dan Hancock in the agency’s Fairbanks office.
By 4 p.m., the temperature on the Salcha had warmed 20 degrees — to 39 below, Hancock said.
The Fairbanks weather service office issued a dense fog advisory Wednesday afternoon that was in place until midnight. Visibility of a quarter-mile or less was expected from Fairbanks to Eielson Air Force Base, primarily in lower elevations. more here

izlamo delenda est …
The hoarfrost on the trees is beautiful, though. Still, was glad to come home last night. Don’t envy the peeps who work outside.
Looking for Moose Limbs.
How can this be? Didn’t our government just tell us this is the warmest year in the entire recorded history of warmest years, ever?
The squaws along the Yukon are good enough for me.
My cousin lives there. You have to plug your vehicle in wherever you stop and or let it run.
That’s block cracking temperatures
Thank God for global warming, eh? It might be -100 without it 😉
Coldest temp I’ve seen in Alaska was -76F, actual temp. Pretty frickin cold. Fortunately it wasn’t windy. I was a lot tougher back then.
Did Alaska not get Algore’s memo?
Been there, done that.
Of course Alaska got Gorey’s memo. It’s global warming that CAUSES such cooling!!!001!001!
They better not be burning firewood.
And here we are in Georgia with a heat wave. I wish they could send a little bit of that winter weather down here.
Hope the heaters in those igloos keep up with that kind of cold.
You know now why they changed the term, Global Warming to Climate Change. They ain’t stupid, ya know! /sarc
A friend of mine works for BP on the northern slope. I once asked him “Once the temperature is -20 degrees can you actually feel a difference when it goes down to -50? His reply: “Hell yes – – it’s 30 degrees COLDER!
Four weeks
At fifty below
By next fall
The wimps will go
Get this: 49 degrees in Juneau (southeast Alaska) and minus 52 in Fairbanks (Interior). One hundred degree difference in temperature!
