Cold in Nome

Temperatures here in northwestern Alaska have been freezing cold the last while. Saturday the low was -30 and yesterday the low was -27. On top of that, there was a little wind, which makes it feel even colder. I have really been noticing the cold, after arriving back in Nome from spending a week in Florida over Christmas, where temperatures were in the 80s. Right now I am sitting in my recliner, drinking a cup of hot tea, trying to persuade myself to go outside so I can go to work. We are expecting a blizzard tonight, to start sometime around midnight with near zero visibility. Don't expect for anything to be canceled though, it is very rare for something like that to happen. Well, I'd better go ahead and take off for work now.
