Journal Entry
Quickly Dropping Temperatures
My travel north to Fairbanks was marked by increases in latitude and decreases in temperature. When I left California, Livermore was a balmy 54 degrees with rain. By Seattle, the temperature dropped twenty degrees and rain turned to snow. I shivered after walking from the airplane. The shivering made me nervous! If I was cold at 30 degrees, how would I feel in below zero temperatures? A few hours later, Anchorage's temperature was 22. I added another layer of shirts. Temperature fell another 30 degrees by the time I arrived in Fairbanks. My nose hairs froze when walking in the -13 degree air to the cab.
