Danged! In Alaska you'd have to go up about as far north you can get to get the kind of temperatures you're reporting, about -25 in Barrow. In Fairbanks, about 600 miles north of Southeast, the temps are hovering around -10. WE stand at about 40+ and have been for days. No snow. This is Alaska, for pitys sake.

Yep. I think it's Nature's way of rebelling against the vacuum in Washington D.C.
