I'm expecting the weather to get very interesting during the next several weeks. I've been watching the temperatures up in Alaska this week. Chandalar Lake, Alaska has had lows around 60 below zero all week. Last night's lows in Alaska included -56 at Beaver, Fort Yukon, and Chandalar Lake, according to one of my weather "heroes", J.B. Elliot. He is a retired National Weather Service meteorologist who works for the Weather Company. I enjoy reading J.B.'s blog entries. In Saturday's Weather Talk, J.B. said, "Please don't ask me why I am so fascinated by the severe arctic cold because I don't have the frostiest notion." I guess you just have to be a weather geek to understand. I do.
