I could have sworn we just did this, last week.
But I digress.
Our temperature is more than 30 degrees warmer than it was on Friday. Then: -15°. Now: 16° above.
It feels … strange. But we're cautioned not to get used to it, as temps will fall below zero again tomorrow. It's nice to have an actual winter with cold air and snow.
Anchorage had an officer-involved shooting in the neighborhood where we used to live. A black-clad man allegedly pointed a loaded crossbow at several passing cars, and then at the officers when they arrived. They responded with service weapons featuring somewhat faster projectiles. ("He brought a bolt to a bullet fight"? Naw, too clumsy.)
Speaking of cold air, our two-week stretch of subzero temps pales in comparison to Fairbanks, which is nearly always colder than we ever get. While not anywhere near a record, they've had temps in the -30 or colder range. Interested? Read about what it's like, right here.

BRRRRR!
It's cold enough for us here in Colorado, thank you....
Nopity nope... Been there when it was -52. Don't plan on going back anytime soon. :-)
Understood, sir. No worries.
I only meant “interested in the story “, sir. You stay down there where it’s nice and warm (most of the time), and all will be well. 😎
Here in Up State NY, it was 65 above zero on Saturday. Of course Sunday it dropped 30 degrees to mid 30's due to the front moving through with lots of wind, but today no wind, and still a high of mid 30's. It is just weird to have weather like this in January here. Used to be we got 2-3 weeks of -20 and it would warm up to mid 20's for a week, and then winter would resume.
Of course, the weather guessers are talking about "accumulating snowfall on Saturday", so maybe we will get another snow dump. Hopefully not like the 26" we got right after Thanksgiving.
Your weather sounds as unstable as ours has been. Interesting times, indeed.
Was "I got you babe" on your clock radio?
It’s c-o-l-d out there!
Update from slightly south of your border: mid-60s, with up to high 70's and rain this week.
Those July temps for us.
Hehe.
Enjoy! :)

Look on the bright side...only 50 Mondays day left this year. If I did the math right. No bitter cold here..YET...
Since I’m reading this early in the morning, don’t wanna do math. Whatever weather you’re getting isn’t Alaska’s fault. I think. 🥱
