Alaska Weather

Well, what can I say about the weather here this past week or so. We have had near record low temps. The lows were -46, and the highs in the -25 range! Talk about cold. Along with that came the ice fog. It looks like the fog is finally behind us, thankfully. It was getting a little annoying having to deal with the fog. Most of the fog comes from the heat plant on base and the refinery down in North Pole. Not to mention all the wood burning stoves in the houses off base. It makes it hard to drive at night, obviously. You never know if you are going to come across a moose on the highway, and hope no one is right behind you if you do. For now it looks like things are clearing up, hope it stays that way. The fog and extreme cold are getting old. Guess Cabin Fever is sneaking up on us and we are anxiously awaiting the return of Spring/Summer!
