It has been what the weather service calls "Bitterly cold" for the last month or so. Supposed to be down around -20 F here in Wasilla again tonight.
People always want it to be cooler. They never stop to think that us poor guys up here where it's ALWAYS cooler would love to have a little gorbal warming. So, just say, for instance, "Well, send that global warming to Alaska, where it will be appreciated!"
I don’t know if people always want it cooler. When I was living in Iowa from 1957 to 1960, my first winter there was a solid week of 25 to 27 below night temperatures and it never got above 21 f below. My first summer there is a solid week of 105 to 107 daytime temps. and it never got below 93 at night. This was pre air conditioning. When my new husband wanted to move back to Iowa from the East Coast because he had a guaranteed job there, I told him in no uncertain terms that our marriage would not survive Iowa weather. We stayed and he finally found his life’s career and we were married 44 years.
