Nhah Nhah!

This is new!

Northern Town is experiencing a surprising warm spell that is forecast to last for much of the week before dropping back to seasonal norms in the high (or should I say low?) -20s and -30s. Yesterday afternoon’s temperature of -14 C felt tropical in comparison to last week’s low of -41 C but already this morning, the temperature in

Northern Town is only -4 C (with a wind chill of -9)!

Here’s the kicker. Check out these simultaneous temperatures:

Prairie Town is -22 C (with a wind chill of -32)
(~ 18 degrees latitude to the south)

Home Town is -12C (with a wind chill of -23)
(~ 26 degrees latitude to the south)

It’s not been this warm here since about September. I won’t be at all surprised to see the T-shirts come out on Northern Town residents today, especially if we reach a forecast high of -1 C this afternoon. The ravens were displaying and croaking (in song?) yesterday, perhaps celebrating the warmth or just making fun of all you southerners experiencing a bit of northern cold!

This reminds me to tell you that there will be an upcoming post on staying warm by none other than ManNorth. It may not go up before the cold snap passes down south, but look for it coming soon!

In the meantime, layer up and get out the wool!
