After one more shot of Nanook arctic air for the next 36 hours, we begin to climb out of the deep freeze. It's always interesting to evaluate the magnitude of warm Pacific air incursions in winter. The arctic air is shallower this time, and will give us a glancing blow.

Get out and enjoy the Winter Carnival, but brace for one more arctic shot first!
