I'll be posting a wrap-up of the current cold snap this weekend, but in the meantime, it's worth noting that the low (through 6am) Thursday at the Fairbanks Airport has been -20F. This is the lowest temperature this late in the season since 1992, when the temperature fell to 23 below on April 13th. It's slightly colder in the usual places, with 24 below at Goldstream Creek and the Woodsmoke CWOP near North Pole.
I might have missed this before, but here's a link to the CPC's Alaskan interactive page:

They think it's going to be cool in April.

Gary,
DeleteThey nailed that one. Next week will not be as anomalously cold as the past week but still significantly below normal. Break-up is a ways away.
Also, thanks for the TL obs.

If I'm not mistaken the week ending yesterday, April 12, was the coldest April week in Fairbanks since 1927, narrowly beating the week of 4-10 April 1986.
ReplyDeletePerfect timing Richard :) Your comment arrived as I was pushing out that very post. Great catch.
