Currently, we in Rochester are colder than Fairbanks, Alaska, and both cities are below zero. In-fucking-credible. Temps are as follows:
Rochester: -3° F
Fairbanks: -1° F
Outrageous. Add to that a 8 MPH wind and we have a wind chill of -17. Fairbanks has calm winds, and thusly it feels a hell of a lot colder here than in Alaska.
Also, Sackets Harbor, in the Watertown, NY area, is -19°F right now. That's colder than any place in Alaska currently, to my knowledge. Even Barrow, on the North Slope and bordering the Arctic Ocean, is only -6. And FYI, the wind chill in Sackets is trumping Barrow.
Just some mind-numbing (and extremity-numbing!) figures.
4:29 AM... update: we're all tied up now; Rochester and Fairbanks are equals at -4°F. This cold is getting way out of hand.

It's getting more and more difficult to find a reason to stay here, since there's no way we can all go into hibernation 'till April.
Not even family and good job(s) would keep you?
And the snow is so beautiful! :op
