Fairbanks

Fairbanks has been on our list of places to visit since we moved to Alaska.  We finally planned a trip up there just before Christmas.  As scheduling turned out we ended up being there on the Winter Solstice.  It is really interesting to be so far north on the shortest day of the year!  There also happened to be an extremely cold spell while we were there and we got to experience -40 degree weather!!  If you don't already know, -40 is the temperature at which Fahrenheit and Celsius are the same.  It was so cold that the engine block heater in our car had trouble doing its job and our nose hairs froze as soon as we stepped outside.






I can't believe I didn't get a picture of the display reading -40!
