I am 230 road miles from Anchorage Alaska, Homer just waking up 8 am. it is 39 degrees out snow is melting I can hear it dripping from roof. It is still dark for 2 hours but gaining about minute half per day of daylight. If I could see anything out side I would be looking across Kachemak Bay at 5 glaciers but it is still very dark

I lived on a military base near Big Delta for three years (as a child). Know exactly what you are talking about.

One winter, the ACTUAL temperature fell off the scale which could only measure to -70 F. Every residence had an electric outlet on a pole in their parking space to keep the car from freezing. We kids were bussed (trucked - duce and a half) one block to school.

Really chilled!

I was stationed at Eielson AFB just south of Fairbanks for 4 years. Coldest I saw was -58. Was a beautiful drive back to NJ when I left. Made it in 4.5 days solo.

Unfortunately, that below zero air is supposed to arrive here Sat. At least we have some snow on the ground to help insulate things.

Except the snow insulates the ground keeping the heat below ground so the air is even colder!!

Chills!

Don't care about outside, I bank the snow up around the foundation and with some on the roof does wonders to keep the heat in the house. Just where I want it.

Wow, I'm glad I live in California, Sacramento Weather Forecast and Conditions California (95824)
