Fairbanks Daily News-Miner - Really cold and lots of snow highlight November 2011 in Alaska
All of the nine cities discussed here recorded negative deviations from the long-term average. High negative deviations were observed in declining order for Big Delta (minus 11.1 degrees Fahrenheit), Fairbanks (minus 10.8 degrees Fahrenheit), Nome (minus 9.5 degrees Fahrenheit), Anchorage (minus 8.2 degrees Fahrenheit) and King Salmon (minus 7.6 degrees Fahrenheit). These are indeed, very large deviations and are infrequently observed. Even Barrow, which had reported large positive deviations for the last four months, was below (minus 0.9 degrees Fahrenheit) the long-term mean. Barrow represents the smallest deviation for the nine-city summary.
