> Our weathermen say that when it is super cold in Minnesota it is usually > warmer in Alaska, and vice-versa. It all has to do with the jet stream. Also for those of us living in Southeast Alaska our temperatures are moderated by the "Pineapple Current". Warm water flowing up from Hawaii. It also brings a lot of rain. Over 300 inches per year in some places! Only when high pressure systems generate wind out of the North do we get colder temperatures here. It was in the single digits for about two weeks here before it warmed up last Friday. Unfortunately we had a of rain on top of three feet of snow resulting in flooding and extremely slippery streets. Fun Fun. stay warm Bob *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
