Jack’s weather report:
It is sunny and warm this morning but there is a change in the air. (see winds below)
Temp: 42 °F
Winds :Out of the west this morning, which is a first in the three weeks I have been here.
They are normally out of the east and you can almost set your clock by that. We
hear there is going to be a change in the weather in the next couple of days.
Today is the longest day of the year in the northern hemisphere. This doesn’t mean that time is added to the 24 hours that make up the day. It simply means that the time from sun up to sun down lasts longer today than any other day during the year. In Barrow that means that the sun, even at its lowest point, is higher than it is any other day.
I took this picture below just before going to bed. The time was about 12:10 a.m., June 21, 2007. I like having the 24 hours of daylight better than I thought I would. Now I have to come back to experience the other end of the spectrum, 24 hours of darkness. I wonder if polar TREC will cover the costs?
