We had a few weeks of colder temperatures in the -10º to perhaps -29º F. in Fairbanks, Alaska, but so far it has been a very pleasant winter. Monsoon coming to the interior of Alaska now, and by the end of last week the temperatures reached the "teens." Right now (1:55 PM, Sunday Dec. 8th) the temperature is 15º F. The forecast calls for 29º (-1.67º C), with temperatures in the low 30's and high 20's (0º C to -1º or so). Then it starts coming down by Friday. As January nears, it could get quite cold since December, January, and February usually are the coldest months of the season.
