Does it have Texas on its mind?

Little between North Pole and Houston but blades of prairie grass and barb wire fences...

Take away the negative sign and Houston has identical temperatures to Chicken!!!

Remarkable warm-up in Chicken....back to almost 0 deg today...must feel like Spring! Temps in the 20's by the weekend...heat wave!!!

(The link also shows something amazing - between today and next Monday, Chicken gains an hour of daylilght!!!)

There is something wrong with that page...it shows daylight of 6 hours and 47 minutes today and 8 hours 18 minutes tomorrow....the daily change right now is aout 6 1/2 minutes a day. Check this out - it is 48 minutes diff from today to next Monday...

Go here and type in Fairbanks which is near the latitude of Chicken...

Omigosh.. That is amazing. 48 minutes change in 24 hours can't be real. I assume the cold is though. :eek:

They have been that cold for the last week. Warm up is coming for them though. Doesn't look like any of that cold will head south or southeast.

Dang, that's pretty cold. I guess I can't complain next time it is -30. -72 is enough to freeze you quick. :eek:

Shocking as it sounds...that is absolutely real...keep in mind that by mid-March, this area (along with rest of Northern Hemisphere) will have 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of night....things change very quickly up there!!!

Actually that is not true...there was something wrong with the data for that day...the change from day to day is about 6-7 minutes right now.....there is no sudden jump in it.....

You are 100% correct....no sudden jumps of that magnitude in 24 hours...but 7 min/day equates to almost 50 min in a week....dramatic enough!!! Before long the days will be much longer in places like Chicken, AK than anywhere in the lower 48 (after mid-March or so).
