Ice fog was quite dense this morning in Fairbanks  but had almost completely burned off by mid-afternoon, as evidenced by these two views from Ester Dome, the top one from 1138am AST and the bottom one four hours later.  Temperatures are rapidly warming aloft now and winds have picked up at elevation and channeled valleys.

Here are some low temperatures reported the past couple days:
