Tuesday, January 18th

Whew! After a couple of weeks off to focus on feeling better, I think I am ready start blogging about the weather here in the Interior of Alaska. In reflecting about what the weather has been like over the past few weeks, it's all a blur. However, I did notice this weekend was remarkably colder than earlier this month. In fact, yesterday, we did not get above 30 below zero until late last night.

Looking at today, it appears that we will have clearing skies with temperatures falling to between 20 and 30 below. Tonight's lows look to be around 35 below zero. Bundle up and stay warm!

Current Conditions at 6:30 a.m.:

Temperature: 25 degrees below zero
Skies: I can see the moon, so I assume it's clear
BP: 30.22 and rising
DP:-30.6
Sunrise: 10:19 a.m.
Sunset: 3:44 p.m.

We are gaining 6 minutes and 3 seconds of daylight today!!!!!
