How Cold Is It?

How cold is it.....in Alaska?

Well, Fairbanks is about to set a record. With 4 days to go in the month, the city is on track to set a record for the third coldest (yes coldest not warmest) month in the past 102 years!

January 06 has an average temperature of -19.2 degree Fahrenheit. That is pretty darn cold!

The coldest month of record for Fairbanks was exactly a century ago, when the temperature averaged out to 36.4 below for the 31 days of January 1906. Second coldest was December 1917, and third coldest January 1971 with an average of 31.7 below.
Hillary should go to Fairbanks and warn about global warming.
