I heard that this morning... 53 degrees at Valdez (I knew of that city right away because parts of it were destroyed by a tsunami in the 1964 9.2 Alaskan earthquake.
53 is pretty good for a city that far north.

It's crazy, but it's about to end. Big trough will make the West warm and Alaska and the East cold.
