It’s hot out there!

Crazy weather so far this winter. It is too warm outside to have a fire burning in the woodstove. The snow is melting, mainly because it has been raining! much of the day. I ran into friends wearing shorts today at the post office. It’s December, afterall.
Oddly enough, I hear it is not too warm Outside, which is a shame. Really. I mean it. It really is a damn shame. Deep down, I feel your shivers, as I wear shorts and a t-shirt tonight and watch D-1 hockey.

Just remember: What folks Outside consider “cold” weather, we in Interior Alaska call a “heat wave”. The subzero weather will return to us soon enough, so forgive us for working on our pre-Christmas tan this weekend.

It’s all a matter of perspective.

The temp hit 84 degrees here in Fairbanks today, which allowed us to tie a record set in 2004 for the number of days in a season where the mercury has hit 80 degs or more. The average is only 11 days, but we’ve reached 80 degs thirty times this summer.

Tomorrow Fairbanks should break the record. Then we should break it again on Friday. And on Saturday. And it looks like it will fall once again on Sunday.
