Blizzard and historic April cold hit Alaska, with temperatures 50 degrees below normal

Some of the coldest April weather on record is gripping the 49th state.

April 10, 2021
Springtime in the Last Frontier doesn’t always mean April showers. Blizzard conditions, wind chills of minus-70, and temperatures more than 40 degrees below zero are gripping the nation’s 49th state, beneath a record-cold air mass in the lower atmosphere.

Alaskans have endured abnormally cold weather since February, and the intensity has set records in recent days.
Temperatures on Tuesday morning fell to minus-24 degrees in Fairbanks and minus-33 in Bettles, both record lows for the date. Livengood, about 60 miles north-northwest of Fairbanks, plummeted to minus-31. A number of other locales dropped down to minus-25 to minus-30.On Thursday, the temperature fell as low as minus-45 in Alaska’s North Slope region.

Bettles fell to minus-38 early Friday, a record for the month of April, with temperatures areawide as much as 50 degrees below average.

Young says the only other years that featured comparable springtime cold-air outbreaks were 1944 and 1911.The extreme cold fits into a broader pattern of below-average temperatures that has dominated much of Alaska this winter. The longevity of the cold in Fairbanks has been record-setting; on Tuesday, the city failed to hit 40 degrees for the 177th day in a row. Fairbanks hadn’t nicked 40 since Oct. 11, beating out a 176-day streak from the winter of 1965-66.

Yep. As predicted by the scientists. More extreme weather conditions due to mmcc.

Warmest April and now 400 year old records of cold being broken.

Unfortunately, the scientists appear to have got this one right.
