Now this is cold
FAIRBANKS, Alaska (AP) - February 7, 2008 But this
is coooold! It was minus 67 degrees yesterday morning at O'Brien
Creek, a spot on the Taylor Highway nearly 200 miles east of
Fairbanks. That was the actual temperature, not counting any wind
chill. At those temps getting a flat tire or running out of gas
could be a life-threatening ordeal. Alaska state troopers in the
area are placing a priority on responding to calls from stranded
motorists. Folks in Alaska's Interior won't be warming up anytime
soon. The weather service says the extreme cold should stick around
until early next week.
