I would like to keep track of the daily temperature and maybe add some photos of the fall colors to this page. Of course, that all depends when my next shipment of ROUND 2-its arrive.
Rainy Month Ends Hot Streak
"The mean September temperature in Fairbanks was 5.8 degrees F below normal at 38.7 degrees F, which marked the end of a 5-month streak of above normal monthly temperatures. The highest and lowest temperatures recorded were 61 degrees F on the 8th and 17 degrees F on the 29th. Ten days of measurable precipitation left a total of 1.34 inches, 20% above normal for September. The first snow of the season was recorded on the 26th with 0.2 inch and 1.6 more inches fell before month’s end. However, there was no snow cover left on the ground."

"Fairbanks residents experienced below normal temperatures for much of September, however temperatures soared during the last few days of the month with a high of 71 degrees F on the 30th, which broke the previous record of 65 degrees. The low for that day was 45 degrees F, which is the normal high for that date. The average for the month was 41.8 degrees F, which was 2.7 degrees cooler than normal.
