Glad to see you two have arrived.

Billie kindly has assisted me with posting something I compiled my last year in Alaska - that of '65-'66.
I daily clipped the weather things from the newspaper and made a collage of some.

She wasn't able to get them all "shaped down", but I truly appreciate her help.

Here was some of my reality of the time!

If You Add the Chill Factor It Was -70, and the high -50 degrees.

March 16 - Low last night -36; high yesterday 5; low tonight -39; high tomorrow -5.

Spring in Air,But Where?
"- - forecasting a bracing -30 tonight, with promises of even colder weather.
So far this month, with the beginning of spring just a few days away, Fairbanks temperatures have averaged almost 27 degrees below normal.
And the closest we've come to normal this month was a balmy 8 degrees back on March 6.

May 21 - Low last night 34, high yesterday 53. low tonight 32, high tomorrow 55.

June 19 - Longest Day of The Year.
Sunrise at 12:59 a.m. -sunset at 10:48 p.m. - for a total of 21 hours 41 minutes sunlight.

(In between was a kind of twilight - not really dark!)

Diver Dave - Spring comes very late in Fairbanks!!
