I was in bliss a few years ago when I saw it was consistently -40. Figured out my truck bottomed out at -40 for its reading 🤣. Saw a bank at -46 or colder made me think about it. Also reminds me of the time I came to FAI on Vacation in February. Drove out to Chena Hot Springs. Same thing, it was -40 the whole way. Little rental could either keep the windshield defrosted or heat the car. I chose to keep it defrosted. I wonder just how cold it got...

Seems it might be getting warmer today?

QX at two cancelations today (so far)
