I think it gets colder in January and February.

The average low in Barrow Alaska in mid December is about -27F.

Yes it's a heat wave.

That's what I thought, too, at least for Barrow.

We usually have colder weather than -15 here in North Dakota this time of year (this year has been blessedly warm--so far!)

I’ve been working in Prudoe Bay when it was -46ºf with a 55 mph sustained wind. IIRC, wind chill was somewhere around -100...

When it has been -20º and -30º then goes to -10º it really does feel warmer.

Yes it is a heat wave...weird weather...I’m in central BC and it was just barely freezing this morning with light snow...warmed up later in morning to 33 and mixed rain and snow. I don’t like it!!
