So I applied to teach at a school in Barrow, Alaska this week. Barrow is the furthest town north in the u.s., its in the Arctic circle. That's right... damn cold. It has the lowest average temp of any us state, not the lowest record, just the lowest average... this means it is insanely cold all the time, not just on specific days. The highest recorded temp EVER was 79* F in July and the lowest recorded was -56* F. The average temp in the winter (Sept through Feb) is -20.1* F. It holds The record for most consecutive days with the low temperature equal to or below 32 degrees, which was set in August 1955 through June 1956 = 321 days. It also experiences midnight sun and polar night. The polar nigh is when the sun sets on November 18 or 19, and it remains below the horizon for about 65 days. Beginning on around May 11 or 12, the sun remains above the horizon the entire day, and the phenomenon known as the midnight sun is observed. The sun does not set for 82 to 83 days, until around July 31 or August
So.. yeah... thats where I want to go lol
