famartin Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I worked my senior year too, at a Country Club. Good stuff. Free golf and leftover food from weddings and parties. My roomates loved that! Sounds like Caddyshack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunder Road Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Aaaaaanyway back to weather.... The Euro is showing the potential for a few flurries early Thanksgiving morning with the ULL piece of Wednesday's frontal passage coastal blob thing. A few hundredths at best, and 2m temps are iffy. But 850's are definitely cold enough...-6 to -8 at 6z then around -6 at 12z. Maybe a repeat of Turkey Day 2010? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE COLD SNAP CONTINUES TO RE-WRITE THE RECORD BOOKS AT FAIRBANKS. THE CURRENT COLD SNAP IS ONE OF THE MOST SEVERE ON RECORD FOR SO EARLY IN THE WINTER SEASON. HAD THE COLD SNAP OCCURRED IN DECEMBER...JANUARY...OR EVEN TOWARD THE VERY END OF NOVEMBER IT WOULD NOT BE AT ALL UNUSUAL. WHAT MAKES THIS COLD SNAP MORE UNIQUE IS THAT IT OCCURRED THE WEEK BEFORE THANKSGIVING. SATURDAY WAS YET ANOTHER RECORD SETTING DAY AT FAIRBANKS. THE HIGH OF 23 BELOW AT THE AIRPORT WAS ANOTHER RECORD LOW MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE. THE OLD RECORD OF 22 BELOW WAS ESTABLISHED WAY BACK IN 1911. THE LOW OF 36 BELOW BROKE THE RECORD OF 33 BELOW FROM 1969. SATURDAY MARKED THE 5TH CONSECUTIVE DAY WITH A LOW TEMPERATURE OF 30 BELOW OR COLDER AT THE AIRPORT. THIS TIES WITH 1956...1969 AND 1989 FOR THE MOST CONSECUTIVE DAYS WITH A TEMPERATURE OF 30 BELOW OR COLDER SO EARLY IN THE WINTER SEASON. THE LOW TEMPERATURE HAS NOW BEEN 35 BELOW OR COLDER EACH OF THE LAST 5 DAYS. THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE SO EARLY IN THE WINTER SEASON AT FAIRBANKS. THE OLD RECORD WAS ONLY 2 DAYS...AND WAS LAST RECORDED IN 1989. THE HIGH TEMPERATURE HAS NOW BEEN 20 BELOW OR COLDER EACH OF THE LAST 4 DAYS. THIS BREAKS THE RECORD OF 3 DAYS IN 1989 FOR THE MOST CONSECUTIVE DAYS WITH A HIGH TEMPERATURE OF 20 BELOW OR COLDER SO EARLY IN THE WINTER SEASON. TEMPERATURES THIS WEEK ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN WELL BELOW NORMAL. A COLD LOW WILL DROP OUT OF THE ARCTIC AND INTO THE WESTERN INTERIOR MONDAY AND INTO THE GULF OF ALASKA TUESDAY. THE AIRMASS ALOFT WILL BE COLDER THAN THE AIRMASS CURRENTLY ACROSS THE INTERIOR. HOWEVER...THERE IS FAIRLY HIGH CONFIDENCE THAT THE NEXT PUSH OF COLD AIR WILL BE ACCOMPANIED BY CLOUDS AND FLURRIES. THE CLOUDS WILL ACT AS AN INSULATOR AND KEEP TEMPERATURES SOMEWHAT WARMER THAN THIS PAST WEEK. TEMPERATURES MUCH OF NEXT WEEK ARE EXPECTED TO BE IN A RANGE OF 10 TO 25 BELOW. THERE WILL LIKELY BE LITTLE DIFFERENCE IN THE TEMPERATURES NEXT WEEK BETWEEN THE HILLS AND VALLEYS AS THE CLOUDS AND DEPTH OF THE COLD AIR WILL PREVENT MUCH OF A LOW LEVEL INVERSION FROM FORMING. $$ CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al79philly Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Central Alaska is pretty neat. I visited in July and temperatures were around 70. It's actually somewhat dry up there. It's interesting to look at their normal temperatures. Average highs drop 5-6 degrees per week starting in October. The normal high on 10/1 is 45. By 11/1, the normal high is 18. It's also possible to see 80s and 90s in the summer. The rule in Fairbanks is that they close schools when temperatures reach 50 below. Something about the integrity of the metals used to build the school busses. The southern end of Alaska is less extreme, but receives much more snow. You can see leftover snow up in the Chugach mountains throughout the summer. What would get to me more would be the four to five hours of daylight during the winter. We just crossed the Christmas Bridge today, the sun sets later on Christmas afternoon than it does today.

famartin Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 I visited Alaska in July two summers ago. Started in Juneau, then Anchorage and Seward, then up to Denali and Fairbanks.

We just crossed the Christmas Bridge today, the sun sets later on Christmas afternoon than it does today. Yes. The darkness would get me too. I don't even like how little daylight there is here during the Nov-Mar time frame. I was there last winter (end of december) and asked them the same question. I got the typical answer of: "We are just used to it" Kind of like dewpoints in the upper 70's during the summer here, i guess. (minus the freeing your b**** off) I suppose if you are born and raised in that kind of climate you would be used to it. I (and most folks here) know that I'm a summer, warm weather person, but still, while uncomfortable, I think a 90/70 day has to be more tolerable than a brutally cold -30 day.

I have to think that the human body's natural adaptation is to favor warmer climes rather than cold, just thinking about our origins. I mean, being exposed in -30 will kill you. Being exposed in 90/70 won't (probably). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even at PHL's latitude there isn't enough sunshine in the winter to help us produce sufficient amounts of Vitamin D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
