Record cold in Fairbanks, Alaska -
from the National Weather Service:
"THE COLD AIR OVER THE EASTERN INTERIOR CONTINUES TO BREAK RECORDS
FOR LENGTH OF COLD. FAIRBANKS IS POISED TO MAKE IT THROUGH THE
MONTH WITHOUT EVER GOING ABOVE THE FREEZING MARK...ALTHOUGH IT
COULD BE CLOSE ON SATURDAY. THIS WOULD BE THE FIRST TIME IN
MODERN HISTORY FOR THAT MARK TO BE ACHIEVED"
"Just the fact that this hasn't happened before in modern times," says Kate, "should
sound alarm bells for many for several reasons."
"One would be that the current global warming theory states that the poles are the areas
to be affected worst by this warming. Since Fairbanks is a polar location it goes against
the GW theory.
"Second, not only is Fairbanks on track for breaking its record coldest March of -2.7ºF,
it is going to shatter it! As of today the average temperature for the month in Fairbanks
is -8.6ºF, about 6 degrees colder than the previous record. Normally when longer-term
records are broken, they aren't broken by more than 2 degrees. This record could be
broken by 5 degrees."

And here are some key excerpts that Kate sent along from the Fairbanks News Miner.
"The last time I saw it this bad was the winter of 1988-89," said Lynn, referring to a winter that is legendary among those living in Fairbanks at the time. "I think this may have that beat."
"We’re at the end of the winter and the frost line has really gotten down there," said Lynn, dressed in a pair of insulated Carhartt bibs and bunny boots. "I’ve heard about people with (underground) water tanks that are frozen solid. Septic tanks are freezing."
The period from Feb. 12 to March 20 was the coldest on record, according to Aycock. The average temperature was minus 13.1 degrees Fahrenheit, 17.1 degrees colder than normal.
