Cold weather hits Interior Alaska

Renato, I’ve read the following news from The Associated Press on Nov. 22, 2009. Is it true? Confused with all these F/C degrees. Can you give clearification?

FAIRBANKS, Alaska (AP) – It’s been bitter cold in Bettles, a small village 200 miles north of Fairbanks.

The village in the foothills of the Brooks Range recorded a new record low temperature of 47 degrees below zero on Saturday. It was the fifth day in a row a new record low was set in the town, and the sixth day in a row that the temperature was more than 40 below zero. (more…)

The first frost hit the Verkhoyansk, the coldest town on Earth

Further, please, see the current Yakutia Weather Map:

I need to make clarification. According to my personal daily observation, Verkhoyansk keeps the position of the coldest town in Yakutia, Siberia/Russia. It is usually colder than in Oymyakon. Besides, you have to know, that Oymyakon, the well-known as the Pole of Cold, is not a town or city. It is a little village. So it can be considered as the coldest town on Earth at all. Verkhoyansk has the official status of town.

Digged a really funny story at WinnipegSun.com today. A staff writer Joanne Richard raves about the radically inventive Radiance winter jacket which features built in heaters. Thanks to this new gadget, she says, she is no longer afraid of the big, bad cold. She asks readers to call her a snow hottie. Oh! Really?! Nice to meet you, snow hottie :)

Columbia's Snow Hottie and Bugathermo Boot What’s so special about this jacket? Please, read further about it. I would like to know your opinions.

I am trying to be serious and not to laugh until my cries. I just know that local villagers, especially the resident of Oymyakon and Verkhoyansk, will do that. Everytime when they see freezing strangers wrapped up in their ultra warm clothes, they love repeating “There is nothing better than fur clothes.”

So… Let’s read.

Joanne Richard writes “No need to come in from the cold or the freezing hockey arena. With the flip of a switch — just like those heavenly heated seats in a car — I’m warm all over and totally loving it thanks to Mountain Hardwear outerwear.”

Snowy Halloween in Canada

The Canada-based The Weather Network is useful and popular, mainly in the North America. About this service I’ve heard from SusanInCanada, a ColdUnited co-editor. Right, it’s good. Forecasts weather pretty much accurately. Most of all I like its photo gallery.

Today on the website I found the banner announcing the new set of pics “Snow in Halloween?” with the comment “It may not look or sound right but for some it was a scary, snowy Halloween.” Yeah, why not see goulish images?! Do it.
