From Nenana to Fort Yukon, temperatures were 20 below or lower Friday morning, and Smith Lake on the University of Alaska Fairbanks campus registered 28 below.
The first three weeks of March were the fourth coldest on record according to the National Weather Service in Fairbanks. The minimum 21-day mean average low temperature for the Fairbanks area was 8.9 below. The coldest first 21 days of March on record was in 1966, with a mean average temperature of 15.1 below.
NWS Meteorologist Don Aycock said a cold air mass has settled over the Interior. Aycock said strong swings between high and low temperatures are typical in March, but the heavy snow cover and clear skies are helping the low temperatures dip down at night.
But it could warm up [this] week.
“We could see some snow showers Monday through Wednesday,” Aycock said. “It wouldn’t be a great deal of snow. We’re on the western edge of that system. We could miss it entirely.”
Aycock said the clouds could roll in from the southeast as soon as Monday night. Low temperatures could be above zero, with highs in the 20s. He said there’s a possibility high temperatures could reach the 30s by midweek.
“If we get in the 20s and lower 30s we’ll see water on the road when the temperatures combine with the sun,” he said.
Depending on the amount of cloud cover, Aycock said Fairbanks might not get a lot of sunshine.
“Breakup is still quite a ways out,” he added.
Yeah, it's definitely felt colder than normal..either that, or it's snowing lol. It's supposed to get into the 40s by Friday though, yay! Winter has already stayed too long :P
