    I'm starting to feel bad:whistle:
    Having these warm spells is nice but seems when we get them , the
    Mid West & North East get below average temperatures. :confused:

    I'm not counting the chickens just yet.

    The weather forecast said a high of 25* and low of 14* today.
    It was -5* this morning and so far has warmed up to 8*.

    Are people going to be retiring to Alaska in the future? What's up with those temps your having? LOL. Enjoy them. It was beautiful here temperature wise today. Rained all day though. :rolleyes:

    Well it's 12° right now.
    But yes, many are coming to Alaska for their summer retirement location.
    Small lot, well & septic, for a small house or trailer or some have 5th wheels & set up their property for them.

    Many become residents for tax reasons.
    When 10 million ducks & geese leave, they follow :)
    They have the same small set up somewhere in the South .
    True snow birds.

    6* here, saw a high of 9*.
    The odd thing though is most of Wasilla and Palmer on wunderground was showing temps in the mid 20s?!
    I have one sensor off my front porch and another out back in the woods and both normally read about the same.

    I brought wood to a family that spends the summer in North Carolina and winters here. I'm not sure the reason on that one?!

    No doubt about it Dave. Your forecast looks better than ours.
