Record Lows Saturday and Sunday

Courtesy of Pro Music

 The high temperature at Fairbanks Saturday of 35ºF is the lowest so late in the season and the latest date of record with a high in the 30s, breaking the previous record of May 17, 1964. The low of 23ºF Sunday morning was not a record for the date for Fairbanks: record for the 19th is still 20ºF in 1918. Temperatures Sunday morning were coolest in areas with snowpack, including 13ºF at Keystone Ridge and Wickersham Dome and 15ºF at Goldstream Creek, were there is still patchy snow cover.

Here are some more records, though I've edited this NWS Fairbanks statement to correct erroneous data in the original:
