    Currently we have -1F with 8 inches of fresh snow. Forecast to hit -9F overnight. I think there's a temperature inversion because it's colder in Boulder.
    Cordova is coastal and a bit south. I saw -21 yesterday, but today got to single digits…..all pretty normal for here. I guess my point is you guys have this for a couple days, this is 4-6 months for us.

    I know and have been in Tanaina, you're in a freezer up there. Cordova is more like the Washington coast. If I lived in Tanaina I'd want a lot more insulation than is in our little mountain cabin.

    The kids place, they're building in MT is 40 mi from the canuk border. Their friends saw -30 something. AND she wonders why we have no motivation to move up there, once they retire, soon.

    My grandparents lived in Cutbank, MT for over 30 years. It's about 40 miles south of the border. Coldest place in the continental US. Regularly -70 with wind-chill. Of course they were nuts. In his "retirement" he split the year with another Dr in Barrow, AK, the most northern point inhabited by man.
