>it appears that only 4 of the last 8 winter seasons have seen a -60 F
>up in Alaska...and the past 3 consecutive winter seasons have failed to
>produce a -60 F temperature up there (or the Lower 48 for that matter).
>The 1998/1999 winter, however, logged an impressive -74 F up in Alaska.
>That's cold enough to thicken a container of Mobil-1.

>By the way, the last "official" -60 F reported in the Lower 48 was the
