Also: Brrrrrrrrrr!!!
According to the Minor News, we hit -30F for the first time yesterday, and we should hit -40 this weekend.
Thursday marked the sixth day in a row the temperature at the airport didn’t climb above 10 below. Wednesday was the first day with a high temperature of 20 below or colder — it was 21 below — at the airport.
It was even colder in the eastern Interior, where a low of 52 below was recorded in Chicken on the Taylor Highway. A low of 44 below was reported in Eagle and Dry Creek. It was 43 below at Circle Hot Springs.
The weekend forecast calls for lows in Fairbanks down to 45 below and highs in the 20 to 30 below range through at least Monday.
It's also been an abysmally low snow year; I don't think we've had snow in over a month, and it was only a few inches then. Thank goodness I am not depending on snowfall to do research any more! Well, at least we haven't had any warm spells, and what pathetic snow we have had is still skiable. :)

I experienced -52C in Inuvik once back in the late 80's. The schools closed since they couldn't guarantee thay would be able to keep a decent temperature in the classrooms. We were urged to not let the children play outside - but I still saw kids out on the streets.
A week later it was "only" -20C and my son had been outside playing. He came in, rosy red in the face and as he tore off his touque he exlaimed "Mommy, it's really WARM outside!"
I guess it's all a matter of what you're used to!
Yes, thanks thanks thanks for the 75% completion.
