According to the weather service the temperature in Alaska and Abilene are the same at this moment. The weather bug on my computer gives the Abilene temp as 32 and when I checked the web for the Alaska temp it says 32 also. However, I will say that my car said 46 when I left work at 8-I went to eat with one of the travelers and when I left the resturant it said 41 at 10 pm. It is wet, mushy, and yucky here! I want more snow!!! And temperatures cold enough to keep the snow from melting....of course, now when it freezes it will be a real mess because everything, roads included are wet from melting ice and snow.
