Xtreme Cold Weather Experience in Fairbanks
It was in January of 2017 a cold week about -30 to -40 below zero degree fahrenheit we still have to go to work. The forecast said the temp could go -50 the next day. Before I left work, I asked my coworker what's our policy about working in these temperature. She told me that if at 6 in the morning, if the temperature is -50 below then we don't have to come to work.
The next day at 6am our temperature was -49°F. We still have to go to work but I know it's going to be bad on my vehicle to drive in this temperature so I decided to stay home. Only few people showed up at work that day, including my co-worker and she was the only one who showed up in our department. By 9am, the temperature went deep down more than -50 below fahrenheit and everyone who showed up to work was dismissed and was sent home. That day, there were also some vehicles on the road that quit working because of the extreme cold.
