FREQUENCIES OF SELECTED LOW TEMPERATURES IN ALASKA*
This report presents in detail the frequency of selected low temperatures at 33 stations in Alaska. Daily maximum temperatures at or below 0 " F. may be expected over 50 percent of the days in January at interior stations and extreme northern coastal stations, but do not occur at stations expos...
