Just as we head to Winter Solstice, we’re enjoying a clear and cold-for Anchorage-spell of weather. -2ºf downtown and even colder in some parts of town today. Much colder in other parts of the Alaska. Thick hoarfrost coats everything in a blanket of icy glitter. We’ve had record breaking snow the past couple of weeks, and the wettest year on record. The short days start getting longer tomorrow.
