"On January 23, 1971, weather observers at Prospect Creek, a pipeline camp 25 miles southeast of Bettles, recorded Alaska's all-time low of 80 below zero" The coldest I've personally been in was -56 in 2005 in Fairbanks.

You guys are a special breed we gripe when it hits the 30's here.

ak_cowboy

Yeah, it was -60 in town and -72 out in Tok, but I wasn't around for that. Those temperatures don't officially count unless they are at a government weather station either.

The coldest I've been in was -54 up on the slope and that was without wind chill. It wasn't blowing too bad that day though so I think with the wind it was only -61 or so. Typically I have it pretty easy here. January and February are the coldest months usually and even then it only gets to -25 or so on the really cold days. We get hard winds though and that's the killer. It's been nice lately though.
