We hate to put a damper in your mid-week mayhem but this bone chilling weather is too crazy to ignore. Sure, us locals are used to cold weather and dark days for months on end. But when temps that drop well below the 0 degree line and down into the negatives come into our southcentral neighborhoods, we are painstakingly beside ourselves. From hoarfrost to ice fog, your chances of staying warm are slim to none. Will you be hibernating indoors or braving the storm outside?
Over the last week, southcentral Alaska was hammered with inches upon inches of snow that fell softly from the sky for hours and days on end.
Although these blizzard conditions made snow lovers rejoice, the clean up has been an ongoing struggle as we wait for streets to be cleaned up and traffic conditions to slowly improve.
If you're a beloved pet parent who still needs to get in a good walk with your critters, be sure that you keep them warm with a good jacket and some booties.
If you're working out in this weather, be sure to wear every single piece of uniform that your company has provided you with. Or, run to the store tonight and invest in some wickedly strong winter clothing.
But hey, bone chilling weather isn’t all a bore. Do you want to see something awesome? Check out this sweet YouTube video below and see what happens when you throw a cup of hot coffee into thin air when the temps are below zero. Try it yourself and watch your kiddos light up with excitement when they see this ‘magic trick’ happen right before their very eyes.
