I bet the updates every few minutes are hard to really spot. Not a lot going on. Well, I guess you can always watch the sun come up ... oh, wait ... that isn’t going to happen either.

You guys are correct. I just researched it and the next time Barrow, AK residents will see the sun is on 1/24/2012 when it rises at 1:07PM, Barrow time.

Just curious - why would you park vehicles outside in this kind of cold? Doesn’t that make it very difficult to start and run them? Maybe engine block heaters? How does that work?

I can’t imagine why someone would choose to live full time in a place like that.

The vehicles are PLUGGED IN to power to keep the block warm....we forgot to do that once when it was about 20 below, I think....NOT a good thing.

I live in the Coachella Valley for a good reason.....I hate the cold.

It was 60 degrees when I got up, and I fired up the heat.

Just checked. the record low for December is -55. February has the coldest day on record at -57.

2 hours and 57 minutes of visible light today, the sun does not rise.

The average low in Barrow Alaska in mid December is about -27F.

Yes it's a heat wave.
