After observing the warmest January and mid winter days on record with rain falling in Fairbnaks, winter made a comeback to Alaska with persistent snowfall within bitterly cold air. Yes it can snow even at -10, -20 even -30. Truth is it’s never too cold to snow.

The snowfall within -30 degree air in Fairbanks recently was impressive.
