I went back and edited the original low temperature posted, because I couldn’t confirm the 80 below I had heard on TV. That is so low I just couldn’t believe it.

However, quoting this mornings Anchorage Daily News page A8:

“ About 50 miles north of Northway is Tok, where local blogger Aliza Sherman Risdahland posted a photo this week of an electronic temperature gauge seen at the Tetlin National Wildlife Refuge office.

It read 80 below”

“ That minus-80 doesn’t count for the record books, however.”

“ The coldest official reading in Tok this week was 63 below.”

Quoting:I can't help but think of Hawaii and it's paradise weather, year round.

I agree completely. I bought the ticket on Wednesday. I will be leaving for two weeks in Hawaii, on Feb. 16th.
