You Know It's 20F in Fairbanks When
... every male between the ages of thirteen and eighteen is wearing shorts.
... no one over the age of three is wearing a coat.
... adults stand out-of-doors, idly conversing, six feet from a heated building.
... cars are double-and-triple-parked at the xc-ski trailheads in the middle of the day.
... Nyssa does not come flying back into the cabin covered in frost thirty seconds after we let her out the door.
I know this isn't going to last ... but we are enjoying every second.

Well, this is a switch! The mercury's been hovering just around 0 for the past few days here!

It dove back down to zero yesterday, but the weather (paired with the rapidly growing daylight) was full of hope. I do hope things warm up for you soon!

we've been having our coldest weather of the season here in baltimore @ 20 degrees F - i might say that the reaction to this temp here has been quite the opposite of that in fairbanks. :) ahh, perspective... isn't it interesting?
