Good morning! Monday was filled with wonderful sunshine! After a long and dark winter, people in the sub-arctic are happy to see that flaming ball of fire light up the sky. As we were driving around Fairbanks, I was almost giddy about getting to wear my sunglasses. Life is good!
We may not need those sunglasses for the next several days, as clouds are starting to roll into the area. It looks as if we will see highs around 15 above today and lows around zero tonight. There is a mention of snow for tomorrow afternoon through Thursday morning. Then, it appears that we may have a cold snap. The NWS is predicting lows of 35 below and highs of 15 below into the weekend.

Good beautiful morning! What an incredible weekend here in the Fairbanks area. We had highs above zero and plenty of sunshine. I am definitely noticing the days getting longer. It seems to energize me and give me hope that Spring is just around the corner. While I know we will not see our grass until May, the warmer temps and the sun are awesome!
The first part of this week looks as if we will continue to see relatively mild temperatures. We should see highs between 10 and 20 above and a chance of snow Tuesday evening through Wednesday evening. However, starting Thursday night, we could see lows back to 35 below zero with highs on Friday of 10 to 15 below. That trend could stay with us next weekend. Hopefully, it will be short-lived!

Good morning! It was a great weekend here in the Interior. We had highs above zero and sunny skies. On Saturday evening, we enjoyed one of our favorite winter sports, UAF Nanook Hockey. The Nooks walloped the Ohio State Buckeyes 6-2. We followed up the victory on Sunday with a hike around Chena Lakes. We have never been to the lake area in the winter. So, we were amazed by all the activities. There were people ice fishing. There were people skijoring. There were snow machiners. In fact, I think we were the only two people with our winter hiking boots on and walking. It was a beautiful day filled with sunshine!
The weather this week looks to be just a promising as the weekend. While there is a mention of snow tomorrow through Wednesday evening, the temperatures should remain above zero during the day and around 10 below zero at night. For the end of January and the beginning of February, I can't complain!

I find it interesting that because New York City received 18 inches of snow yesterday, the news is reporting that "the entire nation is being pounded by snow!"
Now don't get me wrong, I realize that 2 inches of snow per hour is a heavy snow, but to say the entire nation is being pounded by snow seems a bit egocentric to me. In fact, I've been looking forward to getting more snow here in Fairbanks. Though our forecast is looking brighter for the week, meaning we expect temps to rise to 15 degrees above zero, it doesn't look like we will have much precipitation. We won't be getting pummelled, let alone pounded.

Good morning! Tuesday was a beautiful day. We had highs right around zero and it felt wonderful. We took advantage of the warm weather and grilled steaks last night for dinner. I think I could easily get used to the warm temperatures. While I know we still have a long way to go until Spring, the extra daylight and the temps are a welcomed relief. So, if you have the day off or want to call in sick, get out and enjoy this warm spell!

Good morning! It looks to be a beautiful day here in the Interior. We could see highs ranging from 5 below to 25 above (warmest in the hills). We are gaining 6 minutes of daylight. It's amazing what warm temperatures and more sunlight can do for a person's attitude. Many people I see are smiling and laughing more and seem genuinely happier! All I can say is, "Bring on summer!"
