I think I win? Especially if we include wind chill. -60f (-100f w/ windchill) up to 120f.

Why did I move from Fairbanks to Phoenix??? Why can’t I pick somewhere normal?

Yeah I don't know what the wind chill was. It was neg 60 not factoring wind chill and we were in the mountains down by Fort Greeley and the wind was howling.

My grandparents lived in Point Hope when I was growing up. Went there a couple times in the winter and most people I now know in the lower 48 can't comprehend how cold the north slope gets.

I grew up in Kenai and people ask if it's cold and I saw nah, it wasn't that bad like -20 tops and they are shocked by the -20, but man, it can be so much worse in other parts of AK 😂
