Aurora in Healy, March 2023

Me & C

Roaming: Shenandoah River to the Alaska Range

Weather, Week 2 in Healy

Temperatures have been mild for the area, but this is the coldest March I have experienced in over 50 years.   This morning it was 7F when I got up.  Now it is a comfy 33F.

Love this $12 max/min thermometer which we put up the day after we arrived. (Amazon link at bottom of post). We suspect it may have been hit by the sun at some point – not so sure about that 46F. The typical range of temps is what I have seen today.

Snow: 10 out of 13 days have brought additional snow. The forecast indicates that trend will continue. Fortunately we have never had more than 2 inches in one day so the roads and outhouse path aren’t too bad.

I still don’t know what freezing fog is, but it shows up in the forecast occasionally. Wind & Sun each deserve their own post – hopefully I get around to that.

      Any idea how cold of a low you need to worry about your RV water freezing? You have been having colder nights than I expected. Hope you are staying warm enough.

    Melissa and Charlie, I went so far as to look up airplane tickets to Fairbanks from DC. Then I realized I really had no idea where to fly to…..and I really would prefer to drive and see things. These posts make me want to visit, I would come with Martha. Thank you for sharing. Charlie I keep thinking of your feet and hope they are OK and Melissa of your shoulder….you seem to really need those body parts functioning these days. Thank you for sharing.
