Wacky Weather

This last week has been crazy for our weather here in Anchorage! One week ago, just 7 days ago, we were at -19 F for daily high and down to -26 F at night. Now today we are currently sitting at 45 F. That's an approximate 70 degree difference! We have also had wind gusts 40-50 mph, with some parts of Anchorage reporting gusts of 90 mph! I awoke yesterday morning to rain coming down and the temp was 29 F. Today is even warmer and everything is turning to slush, and the wind gusts that started yesterday evening are still going strong. We normally wouldn't see temps in the 40's til April during our spring thaw. The city has cancelled school the last two days and the streets look like ice rinks. Another storm is expected to hit Friday with wind warnings from 6 am to 9 pm, and wind gusts in Anchorage to peak near 100 mph.
