Great! Is that your first sticking snow of the season?

Teammobeu - welcome to the board!

They're dancing in the streets in Barrow PUBLIC INFORMATION STATEMENT NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FAIRBANKS AK 240 PM AKDT MON SEP 12 2011 THE TEMPERATURE AT BARROW...THE NORTHERNMOST CITY IN ALASKA... HAS NOT BEEN BELOW FREEZING...32 DEGREES...SINCE JUNE 29TH. THIS 74 DAY STREAK IS BY FAR THE MOST CONSECUTIVE DAYS THAT BARROW HAS EVER HAD WITHOUT THE TEMPERATURE DROPPING BELOW FREEZING. THE PREVIOUS RECORD OF 68 DAYS WAS SET TWO YEARS AGO. THE TEMPERATURE IS NOT EXPECTED TO GO BELOW FREEZING AT BARROW FOR AT LEAST A FEW MORE DAYS.

Approximately how much daylight are you losing per day? Here in the Chicago suburbs at 42N latitude, we're losing about 2 or 2.5 minutes per day. I can even notice that, but that's nothing compared to your daylight loss this time of year.

Those are beautiful pictures...thanks for posting. I was in Whitehorse in June 2007...the long days were amazing. Even as I'm a cold lover, the picture of your thermometer on that day in January 2011 makes me shiver.

Welcome to the board! It's wonderful having a poster from Whitehorse.

Thanks for starting this thread...good stuff. I hope you're both enjoying life in Alaska.
