Greetings from Anchorage!

It's cold here, lots of snow on the ground, but it's sunny . . . or at least it was.

I spent most of the day inside a client's building, where it was nice and warm.

Since before noon, it's felt like the sun was about to set. Welcome to the upper latitudes!

Cold?

The high temperature today for Fairbanks, Alaska, is predicted to be -35 degrees Fahrenheit. Yes, I typed that right: negative 35! For a *high*! Why do they even bother measuring at that point? If any non-Americans are reading this, that translates to -37 degrees Centigrade.

Maybe by February, it will get above -20 F.

. . . Remind me why anybody lives there?
