Global Warming Hits Alaska --

Link here.
The Fairbanks Daily News-Miner reports that for the second time in three days, Fairbanks set a new low temperature record on Thursday. A temperature of 41 degrees below zero — the first 40 below temperature of the season — was recorded at Fairbanks International Airport at 6:29 a.m.

The National Weather Service in Fairbanks says that broke the old record of 39 below set in 1969.

The last time Fairbanks residents saw 40-below temperatures in November was in 1994. 
Yup. Global warming.  For a moment there, I was concerned that global warming was literally causing the Arctic to melt away.

By the way, Arctic blasts usually head southeast to North Dakota.
