Uploaded by: katy99780 — Saturday December 1, 2012 — Tok, AK (Current Weather Conditions)

Ah the Sun, emperor of all the weather, making a very brief appearance in my due southern sky at high noon. Twenty more days to go... and then our days will get just a few seconds longer...

-55 F (-48 C) this fine morning, warmed to -47 F (-44 C) in the 'heat' of the day.

About katy99780
katy99780 I've lived in Alaska since 1969. I really love this wild land. The extremes of the far north shape and affect every living thing. Extremes of weather, elevation, daylight hours, isolation, flora and fauna, nothing in Nature is insignificant.I have a Davis Vantage Pro weather station, uploading to Wunderground, (Turks on the Tundra) the National Weather Service, the Citizen Weather Observation Program and MADIS (Meteorological Assimilation Data Ingest System).
