At some point my hobbies became my life.

I like Tok and at -45 I’d probably like it better since there’s no skeeters…..those damn things can drive a fella crazy. 😂….plus it’s a “dry” -45 which really helps. 😂

Dry enough to get a shock flipping a light switch.

Yes, some of the wintertime fun around my house is shuffling my feet up to the wife for a little shock therapy. Hehehe
Pretty soon I'll be throwing boiling coffee in the air and watch it turn to air crystals/vapor before it hits the ground.

Dumb question, are temps this cold normal for this time of year? Seems damn cold for November, but I don't know Alaska.

Actually it is warmer than normal. I have seen -40 on Halloween. Not usual but it can happen. Tok has not seen -60 in many years.

Dumb question, are temps this cold normal for this time of year? Seems damn cold for November, but I don't know Alaska. Temps are highly variable, year-to-year, and are strongly influenced by the Pacific Decadal Oscillation...in human life-time terms it is a total craps-shoot. This POS study is a complete cover story for reduced productivity due to 400 BILLION excess pink salmon smolts being dumped into the system from AK salmon hatcheries. Read it with a jaundiced eye to find what they are trying to hide. https://www.fisheries.noaa.gov/feature-story/understanding-ocean-changes-and-climate-just-got-harderThe North Gulf Coast temperature cycles are real and very well documented. On the warming end of the cycle things get erratic... The effect of water on weather is huge and when few realize wet air is much lighter than dry air... and that is only a tiny part of the dynamic nature of weather... Adding data from PDO shows it is common for wild temp swings currently. Tough times for big game hunters in AK...
Mark Begich, Joaquin Jackson, and Heller resistance... Three huge reasons to worry about the NRA.

So, these temps this time of November are colder than normal. Almanac for November 22, 2021 FORECAST. AVERAGE. *RECORD Temperature High 12 °F. 29 °F. 46 °F Low -8 °F. 14 °F. -20 °F Official temps @ Kenai airport.

It gets cold down here and I hate shoveling snow.
But I've never seen it get nipply. If it got nipply, that'd be worth all the shoveling.
A wise man is frequently humbled.
