Coldest Summer in Anchorage?

Makes sense. The earth is trying to replenish the ice. I hope the earth does not make winters even colder blasts with warmer warm ups in between. I am no scientist, but to me Global Warming means the earth as anything with a cycle will try to fix or replenish the ice. It will work harder. It is why you see this extreme cold.

The coldest summer ever? You might be looking at it, weather folks say.

Right now the so-called summer of '08 is on pace to produce the fewest days ever recorded in which the temperature in Anchorage managed to reach 65 degrees. That unhappy record was set in 1970, when we only made it to the 65-degree mark, which many Alaskans consider a nice temperature, 16 days out of 365.

This year, however -- with the summer more than half over -- there have been only seven 65-degree days so far. And that's with just a month of potential "balmy" days remaining and the forecast looking gloomy.

National Weather Service meteorologist Sam Albanese, a storm warning coordinator for Alaska, says the outlook is for Anchorage to remain cool and cloudy through the rest of July.
