Overnight temperatures are now finally dipping below freezing in colder spots around the interior - and it's about time. The coldest reports this morning came from the usual places:
Salcha RAWS 22°F
Circle Hot Springs 25°F
Chicken 25°F
Bettles saw its first freeze of the season, 28°F, which is very late: the record latest is September 16 in 1978.
The coldest temperature so far at Fairbanks airport is only 38°F, which ties with 1989 and 2007 for record highest up to this date.
Astonishingly, it appears the autumn colors are *still* not fully developed around the Fairbanks area, although a change is starting to show up. Webcam views from Nenana and Cleary Summit today:
It's hard to believe that on this date in 1992, the permanent winter snow cover was established in Fairbanks. See the following write-up from Rick Thoman, with photos from this date 31 years ago!
