Wednesday, December 15th

Good frigid morning! The temperature is hanging out in the low 40 below zero range. As you may or may not know, this is only our second winter here in North Pole. Last year, we did not see a 40 below or colder temperature. So, this is very exciting to us! I know that may seem a bit weird to you, as it does to everyone else we know!

The rest of this week will remain much below normal. Our average for this time of year is 4 above zero for the high and 15 below zero for the low. We should see some slight moderating this weekend when temperatures will reach 20 to 25 below zero fro the highs. Bundle up and stay warm!
