Weather History

The lowest temperature reading for North America of -81 degrees was set at Snag, Yukon Territory on February 2, 1947. This value was in jeopardy on this date in 1982 when a reading of -96 degrees was recorded along an Alaskan highway west of Ft. Nelson, British Columbia. While this reading is considered accurate, it was not made official.

A Wind Chill Advisory remains in effect until 12 PM akst Friday
for Thompson Pass.

Sub zero temperatures combined with north winds of 30 to 40 mph
are creating wind chills to 40 below zero through Thompson Pass.
The very low wind chills will persist through Friday morning.

A Wind Chill Advisory means that very cold air and strong winds
will combine to generate low wind chills. This will result in
frost bite and lead to hypothermia if precautions are not taken.
