Record low temperatures recorded over Interior Alaska
Just when you thought summer was finally peeking its head out from under the melting snow.
Fairbanks set a new record low temperature of 22 degrees on Monday at Fairbanks International Airport. That broke the old record of 26 degrees in 1938.
A strong cold front moved across northern Alaska Sunday night and temperatures dropped below zero in the Brooks Range and into the teens and 20s over the remainder of the Interior, the National Weather Service said.The cold air mass resulted in record-low temperatures in other locations besides Fairbanks.
The low of 22 degrees at Eielson Air Force Base broke the record of 26 set in 1965. Bettles had a low of 10 degrees to shatter the old record of 20 degrees in 2007.
Sub-zero temperatures were reported in the Brooks Range north of Fairbanks. The coldest temperature reported was 6 below in Killik Pass. It was 5 below at Atigun Pass and 2 below at Norutak Lake. Winds gusting to more than 25 mph resulted in wind chills approaching 30 below zero in Brooks Range passes.

The northern hemisphere permafrost temperature measurements, specifically in Alaska, both of the continuous and discontinuous variety show that the depreciation (accurately measured since the late 1960’s), stopped in 2004. This means the latent heat from the late 1980’s through 1998, which caused some depreciation in the upper 4 meters is/was the actual canary to watch.
The AGW crowd are liars and need an ass kicking…
Maybe they should quit using canaries and start using penguins.
One problem is, the link they tie to (the National Assessment of Climate Change, Alaska Region), goes to the last report – done in 2009 (and it’s only the SECOND one). The first one was completed in 2000, and the next one (the third one) is due sometime this year.
So they’ll be checking on that canary for the third time in the past 13 years. No wonder it’s dead.
Virtual pet canary is the answer. Then it can raise an alarm whenever there is no need for alarm. That should suit the Alarmists just nicely. 🙂
No it’s not, Governor… It’s just resting, is all… Wake up, there! (see Monty Python’s “Dead Parrot” sketch–and at some point, we will have to start calling it the “crazy buggers’ climate consensus–and Flying Circus”)
Global warming has struck southern Australia as well, strong winds cold and lots of flanneries (rain) no doubt snow on some higher peaks.
57 degrees this morning in central Florida almost half way through the month of May!
Throw some oil on them, they’ll be fine.
