The second major winter storm to hit Alaska this season has affected Anchorage more than Fairbanks, but it did manage to once again blanket everything here in a frosty layer of white. This system also brought in our first real cold snap of the season. As the insulating clouds parted yesterday afternoon the thermometer on our deck dropped to -10 F for the first time since we moved here. Temperatures in town drop well into the negatives all the time, but rarely does it dip below zero in the hills where we live. Forecasters expect temperatures will continue to plummet throughout the week as skies remain clear. This morning our deck thermometer is reading -20 F...probably won't be wearing a t-shirt to check the BBQ now.

FYI everyone: He's crazy. He's currently outside manning the barbeque in -20 degree weather. Reef and I are watching from inside, swaddled in blankets...
