The week started off with really cold weather. Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday all hit -10, which isn't too unusual for Anchorage, but is more common starting late January. This year we just haven't had much snow or any clouds to warm things up.
So on Friday things did get warmer and when we were outside Julia was commenting on how nice it feels. She even started to take her coat off. It was after all a balmy 6 degrees out. Luckily on Saturday we got some snow and the tropical weather has stayed--I think we hit the 20s today. Nothing like Alaska weather to provide some perspective.
