    FAIRBANKS - Frigid temperatures are gripping Fairbanks and North Pole this morning.

    Fairbanks International Airport is reporting temperatures of minus 48 degrees, but residents around the area are reporting lows of nearly 60 below zero.

    A dense ice fog advisory is in effect through noon, with visibilities reduced to less than a quarter mile in some areas. An air quality alert has also been issued for the North Pole for unhealthy levels of particulate pollution.

    Highs could reach the minus 20s today, before dropping again tonight to near 50 below. Temperatures are forecast to begin moderating on Tuesday, with highs above zero predicted later in the week.

    Yea, I'm going to HAVE to go into town today. I just went and plugged in the truck so going to give it a few hours at least. I do not want to go! Last night I went out for a few drinks with friends. I had to set my alarm for every 2 hours to go start the truck to warm it up. Bars should have plug ins hahhaa.

    I've been in some "cold" temperatures, but seeing a picture clocked back at -60 just makes me shiver in the comfort of my own home. Goodness!
