January was Cold and Snowy
Short update but I thought all you midwesterners would like to know...while you were experienceing a very warm and moderate "June-uary" [January], I was lucky enough to endure the third coldest January on record with an average temperature of 21.4˚F. This average is for all the temperatures across the entire state of Alaska. Chugiak, AK (my area) had a period of three weeks straight where we did not get above zero and after peaking out at 3˚F above dropped again for another week and a half straight of sub zero temperatures. The coldest temp I saw was -29˚F the day which the temperature difference from my house to outside was 100˚F! Talk about a shocker for my body walking outside.
