The current Alaska cold has peaked and is beginning to pull back. Check out this amazing image showing the intense cold nestled within interior mountain valleys south of the Brooks Range via infrared imagery.

Today, Fairbanks didn’t achieve the same temperature as the -51F yesterday morning but it looks like there was a -61F at the Kanuti Lake SCAN station this morning. Coldest in the state this winter.

Here are pics from a thermometer in Healy this morning. Ouch, below -60F!

The high in Fairbanks yesterday was -43F.

Yesterday morning was cold but not in record territory with the exceptions of the South-central region.

Coldest In 17 Years For Parts of Anchorage

For the coldest since 1999, it hit -36F at Talkeetna and -20F at Merrill Field (both within Anchorage city limits) this morning.

Climatologist at the NWS, Brian Brettschneider took this picture early this morning in Anchorage. The cold affected his car and as a result the engine warning light was showing. Note the engine warming light bottom left and dash reading -30.
