It got down to 29 last night in East Side Anchorage. Waking up to frost that sticks around until mid afternoon is becoming regular affair.

Oh! it gets much, much colder!
Honey, you'll have snow up to your eyeballs, probably, in just a few more weeks.
I'm sitting out here where it's called the Western Slope of Colorado. I'm thirty miles from the state line of Utah. Here is the beginning of the deserts of the West, and we've already had below freezing temperatures twice this week.

It has been getting around 20 degrees during the night for a few days already, and the snow falls. But at lower elevations (around Fairbanks and North Pole) it melts during the day when the temperature reaches 40 degrees. The snow at the 1,200-feet level won't melt, however.

We've had a couple mornings in the upper 20's, but days are still reaching the 50's. To me, it feels refreshing, I like the cold and look forward the winter.

In mid July, here in interior Alaska, we had a couple nights of killer frosts and it took out a lot of gardens including ours. The tomatoes were shot, the only thing that made it was the potatoes and cabbage. Left about six of them for the moose and they ate them all.

The Beavers in the creek behind the house are really going to town and making a bigger "Feed bed" than normal. They seem to know when the winters are going to be worse than others and they have a much bigger storage than in the past, time will tell.
