At 3 o’clock this afternoon, Alabama time, it was 39 degrees at good ole Deadhorse, Alaska very close to the Arctic Coast. That was nine degrees warmer than Haleyville, Alabama where it was 30 and seven degrees warmer than Gadsden where it was 34.
Another example: The high in Fairbanks yesterday was 52–exactly 28 degrees warmer than the very cold high of only 24 in both Huntsville and Muscle Shoals. It was also 20 degrees warmer than Birmingham with 32!
Only a little over a week ago, Fairbanks was reporting some lows around -40!
