It is officially colder than a witch's teat (whose lowest recorded temperature was 5 degrees ferenheit in February of 1972) in Minneapolis.  Today it is 21 below zero, and with the wind chill factor feels like 41 below.  Comparatively then, Barrow, AK is 43 degrees warmer which technically puts it into the "warm vacation spots" category considering you generally will want to go someplace that's at least 40 degrees warmer.  Pack up the beach blanket and sunscreen kids, we're going to the arctic circle!!
