Global warming pulled the notorious 180 degree turn insofar as latitude is concerned today.
I’m in Bend, OR and its about the same temperature as Catalina Is., Airport in the Sky!
Mount Bachelor is an icy hell with an inversion icing up the ski lifts. Every lift at Mount Bachelor is closed from ice! Lots of freaking black ice on the roads too. Saw a couple of bad wrecks this morning.
Stay safe out there, the world is always changing.

Yeah we just experienced one of the coldest Januarys on record. Way to cherry pick one warm day. I had -20f to -25f for almost 2 weeks straight out at my place. Fairbanks had an average HIGH of 1 degree for January, top 10 coldest average month for them too.

I known it’s been unusually cold up North (Especially Yukon). That’s why the temperature contrast caught my attention this morning.

Yep, I farmed up here as a kid. One week I'd be heading out to feed 250 hogs at -20F and days later the Chinook winds would blow and we'd be 40 and a freakin' skating rink outside. Good ol' southcentral AK.
The sun is up from about 8am until about 4pm or so, we got that going for us.
